The Rev. Clarence Larkin (1850-1924) is best known for authoring books and pamphlets on biblical topics, yet there is a more colorful story to be told about his accomplished life. For the first time ever, details of Clarence’s youth growing up in Chester, Pennsylvania, his later years as a Baptist Minister and family man, as well as summaries of each of Clarence’s published books and pamphlets have been collected in one book, illuminating the ways Clarence’s life influenced his theological legacy.

Resources not available to the public — including Clarence’s unpublished hand-written autobiography, illustrated bibles, and other writings that have been passed down through the generations of his family — have been used to create this book along with old newspaper articles Clarence and his friend wrote which contextualize the times in which they lived.

Readers of Clarence Larkin’s books will appreciate the life and times described in Notes and Quotes of Clarence Larkin, bringing to life this faithful servant of Jesus Christ for a modern audience.

Robert Langhorne Peterson is the great-great grandson of the Rev. Clarence Larkin. He is an Electrical Engineer who lives with his wife Patty in Derwood, MD.
