J.
R. Miller [James Russell Miller] ( 1840 – 1912)
was a popular Christian
author, Editorial Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, and
pastor of several churches in Pennsylvania and Illinois.
In 1857, Miller entered Beaver Academy and in
1862 he progressed to Westminster College, Pennsylvania, which he graduated in June,
1862. Then in the autumn of that year he entered the theological seminary of
the United Presbyterian Church at Allegheny, Pennsylvania.
The
crucible of J.R. Miller's education was his service with
the United States Christian Commission, an agency set up to minister to the
troops, during the civil war. When the war ended Miller completed his theological studies
and was ordained and installed on September 11, 1867.
JR Miller DD was one of the best selling
Christian authors of his era. Rev.
Miller’s books had a
total circulation of over two million copies during his lifetime and in 1911
the Presbyterian Board of Publication, under his direction, published over 66
million copies of its periodicals.
We share the same initials and last name but
are not related.
Let us practice the heavenly life tomorrow and next day, at
home, in business, on the street.
