Evangelist par excellence Spurgeon literally wrote the book on soul-winning. Distilling the Great Commission in this series of lectures, addresses and sermons he clearly and deftly conveys the length, depth and breadth of evangelism. He gives exacting definitions (so no ambiguity should remain) of, outlines qualifications and obstacles for, reveals the cost and reward of, and offers encouragement to those who should be about their 'Father's business'. Six college lectures begin the tour through what Spurgeon calls the 'main pursuit of every true believer', followed by four addresses given to Monday-evening prayer meetings for other preachers and teachers. Five instructive sermons follow, imparting such directives that will show the believer that '...he is wise who selects for his raw material immortal souls, whose existence shall outlast the stars.' In word and in deed, Spurgeon is a giant upon whose shoulders we should eagerly yet humbly aspire to stand. |
