Spurgeon on the Priority of Prayer

The great London preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon had a lot to say during his four decades of ministry at the Metropolitan Tabernacle. And beyond his mighty voice, Spurgeon's pen churned out countless words of biblical interpretation and Christian wisdom. These words can still encourage us today! Volume 1 of the Spurgeon Speaks series collects Spurgeon's reflections and meditations on the importance of prayer in the Christian life. He was known as a mighty man of prayer, and his insights will deepen your prayer life as well. Presented in lovely editions that you'll be proud to have on your shelf, the Spurgeon Speaks series offers focused readings on topics that were important to the Prince of Preachers. Expertly selected by Jason Allen and updated for twenty-first century readers, this series will be a valued addition to the library of pastors, scholars, and anyone who appreciates the legacy of Charles Haddon Spurgeon.

‘I tremendously enjoyed this little book! I couldn’t stop highlighting as Spurgeon shares so much wisdom on prayer and has such elegant prose. Each sermon is short, easy to read, and filled with wonderful insights on prayer that will convict and encourage you to pray more. I was particularly encouraged by Praying and Waiting, which is undoubtedly a struggle for many Christians. My only “critique” of the book is that the sermons were slightly edited and abridged. I understand it was to make them more accessible for modern readers. Still, I would have preferred if they were as Spurgeon delivered them. Be that as it may, I highly recommend Spurgeon on the Priority of Prayer to anyone who wants to enrich their praying life. Spurgeon shares many precious nuggets about prayer, and when he speaks, you would be indeed wise to listen.’ Audrey F
