Spurgeon's Lectures To His Students by Charles H Spurgeon

Hardbound Second Edition (edited by David Otis Fuller) Zondervan Press 1945 printing Next to “Mr. Spurgeon’s greatest literary work, ‘The Treasury of David’, we consider the ‘Lectures to His Students’ his greatest single contribution to the Christian world. There is more practical wisdom, common sense and sage advice packed within these pages than in any other book of similar size or content. Remember, these lectures were delivered by a man who had read ‘Pilgrim’s Progress’ more than one hundred times. And he who made the Puritan Bunyan his pattern for preaching and purity of diction, has captured in remarkable fashion the style and spirit of -the "tinker of Bedford" who shook the world three centuries ago with his Christian allegory. The lecture headings themselves arouse our curiosity and interest. After each is read one feels that everything which can be said on the subject has been said. Every Christian as well as minister, should familiarize himself with such as "The Minister's Self-watch," “The Preacher's Prayer," "The Faculty of Impromptu Speech,” “The Minister’s Fainting Fits," et cetera. During seminary days we studied for our text in Homiletics ‘Preparation and Delivery of Sermons’ by the great Baptist Theologian Dr. Johan Broadus. With all due respect to this splendid work we personally feel that Mr. Spurgeon has given to the Christian world something of even greater value and worth. Indeed, we make bold to say that the lectures of this "greatest preacher since the Apostle Paul” should be the textbook, or at least one of the textbooks, in every Bible institute, theological seminary and Bible school in the world. Every Christian, in whatever capacity he may serve, should read and digest the contents of these lectures. Read more
