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.

[Bobby Bonser · Rating 4 out of 5]

Incredible, impactful works by Spurgeon. There are many chapters in this book that encouraged my soul and words that I used to encourage others as I learned about the God of all comfort.

As a "big picture" takeaway I am simply astounded as how seemlessly Spurgeon affirms and defends the precious doctrine of God's sovereign election, of predestination, and also so compellingly pleads and begs and reasons with lost sinners to trust in Him. It is a wonderful demonstration of the Biblical truths which are not at odds (God elects His people, we cannot choose Him of our own will, yet we share the gospel knowing that IT is what God can and will use to bring others unto salvation).

Especially impactful for me were, 1. His mercies are new every morning 2. Comfort for Despondency and 3. The places where God blesses


The only reason this book is 4 and not 5 stars is because as a work, it is disjointed. It reads as a collection of sermons instead of a unified book with a main thesis. The chapters are incredibly edifying, but all have a different thrust/thesis.
