OUTSIDE SOURCE Book Review: Spurgeon's Autobiography

Tony Reinke, of The Shepherd's Scrapbook blog, has been reading again. This time, he reviews one of several 2-volume biographies published by Banner of Truth - the autobiography, actually, of C.H. Spurgeon. And I encourage you to check this out directly because it is one exhaustive review of this work! I remember Sinclair Ferguson telling the guys at the 2006 Banner Ministers' Conference that this set was the first Banner book that he had read, when he was about 17 years old! It's a great read; check out Tony's review for some added information on this set. Grace & peace. Steve
SOURCE of the Review: Tony Reinke
BOOK REVIEWED: C.H. Spurgeon's Autobiography - "The Early Years," volume 1; and "The Full Harvest," volume 2
EXCERPT from the Review: "Nowhere is this balanced Christian life better revealed than in Spurgeon's autobiography. He has certainly influenced generations of Christians, and has profoundly impacted the contemporary rise in Calvinists with his irrefutably genuine Christian life and Gospel ministry. A firsthand glimpse into his life and ministry is here in this excellent autobiography and should be on the shelves of every reading Christian." - Tony Reinke

Hi Steve - Noah Braymen's wife Lindsey here. I wanted to drop a quick Spurgeon-related note to say I have been extremely blessed by Morning Devotions by Susannah Spurgeon & The Life of Susannah Spurgeon by Charles Ray. This is awesome stuff! It's been such an encouragement & I'd highly recommend it for any women - and especially for ministry wives.

Hi, Lindsey. So good to hear from you. And thank you so much for that comment regarding the book, "Susannah Spurgeon: Free Grace & Dying Love." I will have to feature that book here soon; I enjoyed it myself!
