52 Spurgeon Stories for Children; Book 5

Impressively this is Tony Hutter’s fifth (and final) collection of stories from the life of 19th-century minister Charles Spurgeon, most appropriate for primary-aged kids.
Hutter’s prayer is that his readers ‘may be led to find salvation in Christ, and learn truths from the Bible that will help them to live for his glory.’ Each of the 52 Spurgeon anecdotes covers a double-page spread and begins with a thematic Bible verse, before concisely but earnestly reflecting on a lesson or biblical truth from the recalled incident, often closing with a question or suggestion for prayer.
