About the author

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian, John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues, Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861, the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle.

I'm grateful to have read this today. I love reading older sermons by titans of the pulpit. There is something refreshing about constantly hearing about Jesus. I recommend this book from the deepest part of my heart. This is a light, easy read with just the right amount of weight.

The fact that Spurgeon can gather so much truth from Christ's words from the cross is inspiring and insightful. He is a scholar and a tremendous communicator. Much of this book could be easily used for sermon preparation, particularly around Easter. Very good!
