I beleve this Book is an immense help for anyone who will give the blessed gospel of Christ. While Spurgeon is a Calvinist, This book is not aimed at the sreading of Calvinistic doctrine, but at providing an effective ministry. Spurgeon is thought provoking and witty, but doesn't dilly-dally, and makes no apology for the great truths of God and his word. This is a book definitely aimed at old fashioned preaching, which is essential to godliness in the pulpit. It is supported by scripture (KJV) and not popular opinion. This is definitely a book that is as relevant today as it was when it was written, and deserves to be in anyone's top ten who intends to follow the great commision of our Lord and "preach the gospel unto every living creature".

Charles Spurgeon said that his most prolific and highest honor was when he had the chance to teach the young men at his Pastor's College which he founded in London at the famed Metropolitan Baptist Tabernacle. His famous LECTURES TO MY STUDENTS has been read and studied by many preachers down through the years.

This smaller book on pastoral ministry is often overlooked. AN ALL-AROUND MINISTRY (proper title) is a wonderful addition to LECTURES TO MY STUDENTS. In this work Spurgeon gives practical advice to young preachers concerning the work of the ministry. His desire is to simply glorify God in all that we say or do (Colossians 3:17). Spurgeon's heart pours out from every topic from speaking to prayer. A great book not only for Bible teachers but for all disciples as well.

This book delivers exactly what it promises, "...biblical exposition, wise counsel, practical sanity and warm exhortation." And while reading full-length sermons may seem dull to some, let those skeptics go to work on this collection. Charles Spurgeon brings such a passion to the words that one doesn't merely read them, but listens to Spurgeon shout them from behind a pulpit and is brought into a comfortable family of believers (being his Pastor's College). It's a must-read for the mature Christian (especially if he is being called into the ministry).

In this book you will have a idea of how this `Prince of Preaches` look the ministery and have some details about Spurgeon, It's a shame that is back order. but you will love.
