Book Review
Since I take John Piper’s
advice seriously on reading old books by death-faithful Christian writers for
spiritual reading and to absorb their wits and godly insights on the Word of
God (in which John Piper took that advice from C.S. Lewis’s writings) – I take
my baby-steps to study C.H. Spurgeon’s books. It was so enriching to my soul. Ever
since, I have set aside about half of my reading time to read classic books
such as Spurgeon’s… This book I offer to you, is one of his best effort to
introduce his readers (which mostly laypeople like you and me) about the saving
faith in Jesus Christ in a language that we can or able to understand. It is
simple enough to read and yet very Bible-based as we want it to be – as every
Christian books supposed to be. Here I highly recommended C.H. Spurgeon to
guide you to understand what does the Bible really says about ‘Faith’.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the great
Victorian preacher, was a leading campaigner against Liberal Theology and one
of the most influential people of the 2nd half of the 19th Century. He is known
as the 'Prince of Preachers'. His
sermons drew thousands to his church. Yet, at the heart of his desire to preach
was a fierce love of people, a desire that meant that he did not neglect his
pastoral ministry.
"God has not put the
treasure into the earthen vessel merely for the vessel's own sake, but that the
treasure may afterwards be poured out from it, that others may thereby be
enriched."
Spurgeon's remark well
illustrates his strong belief in passing on to others what he had received from
the Lord. He was concerned that faith, essentially a simple thing, was often
portrayed in a manner unlikely to be of help to the genuine enquirer. Faith: What It Is and What It Leads to
gathers together Spurgeon's thoughts on the subject, presenting a clear view of
the exact nature of Christian faith and affording a glimpse of his great
concern for those who had not yet put their trust in Christ.
THINK BIG. START SMALL. GO DEEP.
