As one of the greatest expository preachers of all time, Spurgeon is eminently qualified to teach on the role of passion and the power of tears in the life of Jesus Christ. Three times Scripture records that Jesus was moved to tears, and each instance is full of marvelous light and instruction for the life of a believer. Who better than Charles Spurgeon to describe the wealth of meaning contained in these amazing occasions.
Come with Charles Spurgeon and also consider the tender heart of Jesus Christ, the Savior's gentleness, the compassion the Master felt for the multitude and the widow of Nain, the anger of Jesus over the hardness of men's hearts, and the depths that made Him "the man of sorrows." Timeless messages on living passionately for Jesus Christ await you.
There are five books in the Christian Living Classics series.
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.
