Books like Charles Spurgeon by Christian George

Charles Spurgeon, the great Baptist preacher of nineteenth-century London, is remembered today as "the prince of preachers." However, the strength of Spurgeon's ministry went far beyond simple rhetorical skill. In The Gospel Focus of Charles Spurgeon, Steven J. Lawson shows that Spurgeon fearlessly taught the doctrines of grace and simultaneously held forth the free offer of salvation in Jesus Christ. In thirty-eight years as pastor of the congregation meeting at the New Park Street Chapel and later the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Spurgeon propounded Calvinistic theology with precision and clarity. Yet he always accompanied it with a passionate plea for sinners to come to Christ and be saved. Lawson traces these twin points of emphasis throughout Spurgeon's long, fruitful ministry. The Gospel Focus of Charles Spurgeon is a passionate call for all Christians to follow Spurgeon in maintaining the proper balance between divine sovereignty in salvation and fiery passion in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. - Publisher.

Here Zack Eswine draws from C.H Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers' experience to encourage us. What Spurgeon found in his darkness can serve as a light in our own darkness.

This is a theological biography of the great English Baptist pastor of the 1800s in London, England. It walks through the three major theological issues of his life: 1) Baptismal regeneration controversy, 2) the Calvinistic/Arminian controversy, and 3) the Downgrade controversy dealing with liberalism in the church. This is perhaps one of the best books I have read about my personal theological hero.
