LECTURES TO MY STUDENTS Charles Spurgeon founded The Pastors’ College in London in 1856, at only twenty-two years of age. He supervised the training of up to eight hundred men at a time, lecturing once a week. Lectures to My Students is a collection of those lectures. Known as the Prince of Preachers, Spurgeon’s balance of levity and gravity, joking and pleading, is ample to encourage, convict, and shape pastors and ministers to this day.
ALL OF GRACE All of Grace is Charles Spurgeon’s personal appeal to unbelievers to accept the free grace of God. His belief in the power of the gospel to save informs Spurgeon’s clear and open gospel presentation. Salvation, Spurgeon argues, is free, gratis, for nothing. Will we accept it? All of Grace serves as a perfect introduction to salvation for the sinner, and a compelling assurance of salvation for the saint.
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.
