Description

Exploring the Mind and Heart of the Prince of Preachers is a compendium of over 5,000 illustrations and anecdotes sorted under more than 1,000 topical headings drawn from the sermons and writings of the most prolific Christian writer of all time. The book is comprised of two sections, one of general use and interest and a second geared primarily to those in ministry. Every attempt has been made to retain strict adherence to the original words of Spurgeon, without alteration. The bulk of the extracts contained in this volume have been gleaned from the complete sixty-three volume set of Spurgeon’s sermons, originally printed by Passmore and Alabaster and more currently reprinted by Pilgrim Publications.

Spurgeon’s ministry was broadly extended both geographically and chronologically by the fact that in the providence of God, his spoken words were transcribed almost from the very start. The first sermon in Volume One of the New Park Street Pulpit, “The Immutability of God” (delivered at age twenty), is a classic and is still well worth reading. Thus began decades of speaking and transcription yielding what is probably the largest collection of written sermons in Christian history. Spurgeon did not stop there however. By most estimates he wrote over one hundred and fifty additional books during his lifetime. Most of these have passed into antiquity, but several dozen titles remain in print today as a testimony to his enduring popularity. Thirty of these titles have been selected which have yielded some very specific quotes and illustrations for this book.

Features

• Over 5,000 illustrations, all original and unabridged.
• Quotes drawn from Spurgeon’s written works as well as his spoken words. This includes the entire 63 volume Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit series as well as 30 additional books he wrote.
• Over 1,000 headings and sub-topics.
• A synonym grouping appendix with forty-four main headings making searching for related synonymous illustrations easier.
• Two books in one, with Section One containing material of general interest and Section Two containing material of special interest to preachers, teachers, and ministry leaders. A third section with salvation illustrations and anecdotes is also included.
• A blend of one-liners, longer anecdotes, and extended illustrations. Most other books of quotes were only one of these formats.
• An extensive system of referencing the source materials for additional reading and study from the original writings.

Whether layman or preacher of the Word, there is something for everyone in this book. From wise counsel to heart-warming devotional reading; from pungent illustrations to piercing rebukes; from maxims to live by to warnings to heed.

About the Author(s)

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just a few years after his conversion, Spurgeon, only twenty years old, became pastor of London's largest Baptist congregation, the New Park Street Church. He frequently preached to congregations of 10,000 or more. In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle. Spurgeon wrote hundreds of books, many of which are still in print today.
