Prince of preachers

THE GOSPEL FOCUS OF CHARLES SPURGEON
By
Steven J Lawson
Reformation Trust. 160 Pages. £9.85
ISBN 978 1 567 692 808

Steven Lawson has spent the best part of 40 years studying the life and ministry of the great Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon, and it shows in this latest addition to his excellent series ‘A Long Line of Godly Men’.

This is a truly masterful summary of the ministry of ‘…arguably the pre-eminent preacher of any century’ and the theological convictions that underpinned that ministry, giving it both depth and passion. Lawson quotes extensively from the Prince of Preachers, demonstrating a remarkable breadth of knowledge of Spurgeon’s work.
