From the Foreword
“Hardly anyone outside of Scripture speaks to me like Charles Spurgeon does. God's words, as Spurgeon well knew, are far more valuable than anyone else's. In the face of great criticism, Spurgeon took great pains to conform his preaching and writing to Scripture. We need to hear Spurgeon's voice because he was faithful to speak God's word, and today there aren't nearly enough voices like his. Spurgeon also serves as a reminder that people of great trust in God can nonetheless be brought low in depression. While that thought may be, well, depressing to those who haven't experienced depression, it is liberating to those of us who have.”
