O Death, Where Is Your Sting? : Classic Sermons on Dying in Christ and Our Heavenly Hope

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Kevin P. Halloran (Foreword)

**A never before released volume from the Prince of Preachers on Death and the Hope of Heaven and the Resurrection**O Death Where Is Your Sting shares six comforting and powerful sermons on death by Charles H. Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, to lift your eyes from the vanity and hopelessness of this world to the eternal hope all believers have in Jesus Christ. Death brings much pain and sorrow, but take heart that "The Believer's Deathday Better Than His Birthday" and the deaths of God's people are "Precious Deaths" because they mark the day of our heavenly homegoing.

Spurgeon’s Scripture-saturated preaching has lifted grieving souls for generations. I hope this new volume of classic sermons will do the same for you, whether you consider the fate that will come upon us all, grieve the loss of a loved one, or walk through the valley of the shadow of death yourself.

"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him." 1 Corinthians 2:9

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.

When my mom went to be with the Lord, I read a Spurgeon sermon on death that really comforted me. I complied this volume to comfort others grieving.

“Death in itself cannot be a theme for rejoicing with God. But death in the case of believers is another matter. To them, it is not death to die; it is a departure out of this world unto the Father, a being unclothed that we may be clothed upon, a falling asleep, an entrance into the Kingdom.” C. H. Spurgeon

When my dad died this book was a great source of comfort and processing aid with the Lord. Although it was a thin book, it took me almost a year because the content was so rich and also my heart could only handle a little at a time while dialoguing through the grief with the Lord! I highly recommend!

All of us human beings knows deep in our hearts that death is something that is destined for all of us, and in our hearts, no matter what worldview one holds, we know that there has to be accountability for how we lived our lives, and since we are dreadful for that due process, it makes us men to be fearful of death as we all know that we fall short. However, this is not so for believers, as Christ has defeated death's sting on behalf of us those who are held fast by Him. Thus, even in the face of death, we are cheerful and confident as we've overcome the fear of death. In this book, an anthology of some sermons on the theme of death by the noted 19th century English Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon, the book aims to encourage and strengthen believers in the light of death and what this means to our daily walk with Christ in this present world. Truly, as the psalmist said; "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints," and with apostle Paul, we can together say; "To live is Christ, and dying is gaining."

I highly recommend all to get ahold of this book.
