His works, including Victorious Christian Living and The Making of a Man of God, reflect his deep understanding of Scripture and his passion for guiding believers toward spiritual maturity. His ability to connect biblical truths with practical application made his teachings accessible and transformative.

In the later years of his life, Redpath returned to England, where he continued to preach, write, and mentor Christian leaders. He remained a steadfast voice for the gospel until his passing in 1989.
