From the Library of Charles Spurgeon: Selections from Writers Who Influenced His Spiritual Journey

by James Stuart Bell

More than 100 years after his death, Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) is still known as the Prince of Preachers. It is estimated that he spoke to ten million people in his lifetime. A British Baptist pastor, he remains highly influential among Christians of many denominations. In his writings and sermons he often warmly alluded to writers and their works. The selections in this volume touch on areas of importance and interest to today's readers. This book belongs in every pastor's and thinking Christian's library.

Both of my reviews were written at once, so you should read my review on [b:From the Library of C. S. Lewis: Selections from Writers Who Influenced His Spiritual Journey|13151460|From the Library of C. S. Lewis Selections from Writers Who Influenced His Spiritual Journey|James Stuart Bell|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1333576758s/13151460.jpg|18913] to get my full opinion.

While From the Library of C.S. Lewis is a beautiful paperback (also previously available in hardcover I think)... From the Library of Charles Spurgeon is a gorgeous jacketed hardcover. Using the images of antique books it is very attractive and definitely attracts the book geek in me.

This one is divided into eight sections that truly provide verbal food for the soul. These books would be awesome for any spiritual library, church, personal or otherwise. They would provided a fascinating apologetics or theology course background.

While I love both books, I like the interior text and formatting of the WaterBrook Multnomah C.S. Lewis best. Yet it is the hardcover and jacket exterior that I appreciate more on the Bethany House Charles Spurgeon book. With that said if James Stuart Bell brings any more of these Library Selections forward, you'll definitely find them on my wishlist. As a matter of fact I think I saw one more out there already!

*Thanks to Bethany House for providing a copy for review.*
