A Great Work,
By
This review is from: Forgotten Spurgeon-out of print (Paperback)
This is truly a great work on Spurgeon.It is by no means trying to give a complete look at his life, but rather is focused at highlighting a few key controversies and aspects of his life that are often obscured in modern analysis of Spurgeon. That is the stated goal of the book, and it suceeds at this. Even though it is limited in scope, as I have mentioned, it still does a pretty good job at painting a picture of Spurgeon as a whole. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about the man named Charles Haddon Spurgeon. It is fairly short and is an enjoyable read with many quotes from Spurgeon's sermons.

Another Great Spurgeon Book,
By
This review is from: Forgotten Spurgeon-out of print (Paperback)
Charles Spurgeon is my favorite preacher of all time. His writings, sermons, and passion for God gives me hope that I too can pursue Jesus with all that is in me.This book is a short biography of Spurgeon and it focuses on the end of his life with the Down-Grade Controversey as well as what happened to Spurgeon's church, Metropolitan Tabernacle, after his death. It is interesting to see that, despite his preaching and doctrinal teaching to his church, the church abandoned Spurgeon for new models in the early 1900's. Sadly, the church never has regained the prominence it had in London since the death of Charles Spurgeon. For those who study church growth, this book is a great reminder that only God builds His church. Churches built by men are doomed for failure! When Metropolitan Tabernacle gave in to the spirit of the age (Moody, Torrey, Finney) than the church fell. We must never substitute God's presence for men's traditions (Mark 7:1-13). May the Church of God be faithful to once again proclaim, as Spurgeon so masterfully did, Christ alone and Him crucified (1 Corinthians 2:1-5).

Great,
By FJC "Flynn" (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forgotten Spurgeon-out of print (Paperback)
This really isn't a biography of Spurgeon. Rather, it is a rumination about Calvinism and church organization, filtered through the words and purson of Spurgeon. Well worth the read. It is at times moving, and Murray has a considerable talent for explanation.
