Angels, Palms and Fragrant Flowers

F. W. Boreham writes, "A king-maker occupies a more exalted eminence than a king. And in that (Victorian) age of crisis and transformation there were many kingly spirits who gratefully confessed that, but for Mr. Spurgeon's ministry -- in public or in private -- their own contribution to the nations' development would have been negligble." The complete foreword, written by Boreham for a friend's book, and from which the preceding is an extract, opens this book which gives tribute to C. H. Spurgeon. There is a little redundancy in Boreham's three sermons, one lecture and an essay, but the portrait he paints of Spurgeon in words more than makes up for any repetition. A preface by Geoff Pound and two introductory essays about Spurgeon and his college by Steve Miller, a Harvest House editor that has studied him, provides context for a book that is not only biographical but inspiring. Spurgeon's Christ-centered focus and passion for souls are invigorating. The total page count is 92 (23 Roman numeral pages followed by 69 numbered pages). If you need refreshing, get to know this giant of a man through the eyes of F. W. Boreham and a few admirers of these two men.
