Spurgeon on the Christian Life Alive in Christ

Charles Spurgeon, widely hailed as the “Prince of Preachers,” is well known for his powerful preaching, gifted mind, and compelling personality. Over the course of nearly four decades at London’s famous New Park Street Chapel and Metropolitan Tabernacle, Spurgeon preached and penned words that continue to resonate with God’s people today.

Organized around the main beliefs that undergirded his ministry―the centrality of Christ, the importance of the new birth, the indwelling of the Spirit, and the necessity of the Bible―this introduction to Spurgeon’s life and thought will challenge readers to live their lives for the glory of God.
