Spurgeon on persevering through trials
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 3 of the Spurgeon Speaks series shows you how to stay strong when life is coming at you hard. Spurgeon himself faced trials—physical challenges, harsh criticism, and much more—yet he stayed focused on God's call for his life. This book will help you do the same. 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.

‘Like the other volumes in the series, Spurgeon on Persevering Through Trials is delightful! It is full of biblical encouragement that points to the Lord of hope and the Father of mercies. Through these sermons, Spurgeon explains the purpose and benefits of our pain, its brevity, Christ’s presence through it all, and the eternal glory and joy that awaits us. One sermon I especially found fascinating was the Greatest Trial on Record, which vividly tells of the passion of Christ for sinners. I love Spurgeon on Persevering Through Trials and highly recommend it! Read these sermons, feast on their everlasting truths, and rejoice in the living hope they indicate. See also my reviews for Spurgeon on the Priority of Prayer and Spurgeon on the Power of Scripture.’ Audrey F
