This review is from: The Greatest Fight in the World: The Final Manifesto (An Ambassador Classics) (Paperback)

Charles H. Spurgeon is considered by many to be the greatest preacher of the 19th century. In April 1891, within a year of his death, Spurgeon addressed the Pastor's College Conference, giving one of the greatest addresses of his life. In it, he set out to explain to pastors how they should engage in "the crusade against error and sin."

The three tools of the pastor are "Our Armoury", "Our Army" and "Our Strength". Our Armoury is the Bible, and herein Spurgeon lays out how and why pastors should use it. Our Army is the church, and he explains how the pastor should equip and use this army. And finally, Our Strength is none other than the Holy Spirit, and he covers how and why the pastor should rely upon Him.

This is an excellent address, showing the power and intelligence that form the bedrock of Spurgeon's reputation. Though this book is written from an unapologetically Calvinist viewpoint, many of Spurgeon's points are applicable to all churches everywhere. As such, I highly recommend this book to every pastor everywhere.
