The photographs below depict some of the scenes and people mentioned in this stand-alone novel on Andrew Murray's ministry between 1860 and 1882

The Dutch Reformed Church at Worcester where Andrew Murray served between 1860 and 1864. A wonderful revival broke out here in 1860.

The is the Dutch Reformed Church in Montagu where the the Cape Revival actually started in May 1860, a few weeks before the revival in Worcester.

On the far left is a painting of Catharina van Blerk in old age. The Worcester revival started at the farm Aan de Doorns while she was teaching a Scripture class to the farm workers there.
Alexander McKidd was the first DRC missionary to be sent beyond the borders of the Cape in 1862. When he and his wife died of Malaria, Stephanus Hofmeyr took over from him.

Revival also broke out on the farms near Paarl in 1860, and in Paarl itself in 1861. Gottlieb van der Lingen was the Dutch Reformed pastor there at the time.

Andrew Murray looked like this around 1860.

This is one of the few photographs of Emma, Andrew Murray's wife when young(ish). She's in her thirties here.
