Bøger af C. H. Spurgeon

The story of Charles Haddon Spurgeon's life is nothing less than titanic. Within 2 years and 6 months of accepting the pastorate of the New Park Street Chapel as a boy of 19, the Sunday service grew from 242 to over 7,000 in attendance. What can account for the meteoric rise in popularity? Why did so many wish to hear his sermons? It is the same reason why one ought to study the sermons of Spurgeon to this day: in a famished land of moralism, he preached the bread of Jesus Christ. Containing the first three volumes of the sixty-three volumes published from the Metropolitan Tabernacle pulpit, this book holds 164 sermons, 'as plump as a partridge, and as full of meat as an egg.' David A. Attebury is currently pursuing a Masters of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.

This collection of C. H. Spurgeon's travel letters offers a rare insight into a different side of the famed preacher. Of the many telling phrases C. H. Spurgeon gave the world, one speaks to the way he, and his contemporaries, greatly valued letters: what he called "gifts of the pen." He lived in a golden age of letter-writing, and played his part in making it so. The best letters, he knew, are written with thoughtful reflection, love of the written word, wit, and a vivid sense of place. His travel letters model these gifts; his love of nature, history, culture, and art live--and breathe--in these pages. Rest and recreation, during precious holiday time, let him follow these interests. Such times were meaningful, renewing gifts from God. More than a preacher, he was a man who needed rest and cherished the world God had given him to enjoy. With artistic flair, scenes and experiences from the English countryside and European continent are brough to life with vivid descriptions. Eloquent, and often moving, his "gifts of the pen" shine through Spurgeon's travel letters. With this insightful new collection, Spurgeon's letters finally have a well-deserved place f honour in a book of their own. Now, we ourselves may travel with Spurgeon - enjoying the world he knew and experienced through this privileged perspective.

2023 Reprint of the 1892 Edition. Spurgeon (1834 - 1892) was a British Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the "Prince of Preachers". "By April 1891, when Spurgeon addressed the annual conference of the Pastors' College for the last time, he was an experienced and battle-worn soldier. Spurgeon considered it the life-work of a pastor to be engaged in a crusade against error and sin. He fully appreciated what it was to 'fight the good fight of faith'. In The Greatest Fight in the World, this final annual address to his fellow pastors and Pastors' College students, Spurgeon offers practical advice on how to approach the battle. He does so under three martial metaphors: Our Armory (the Scriptures); Our Army (the church); and Our Strength (the Holy Spirit). The Greatest Fight in the World is a book for every pastor. It will stimulate and inspire an approach to the pastoral task which is orderly and intelligent, and which above all recognises and has confidence in the God from whom the strength to engage in battle comes.
