The Soul Winner (The Spurgeon Collection) [Paperback]

C. H. Spurgeon (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 1995

One of the most effective evangelists of all time. Under his ministry Victorian London saw revival on a scale never seen since. Yet Spurgeon would be the first to point your finger away from himself to the true author of repentance and reformation – he realised that without God at work, he could do nothing.
Many people sought Spurgeon's advice on evangelism and preaching and so he addressed a wide variety of different groups of people on the subject. Here is a collection of his lectures and talks to take people away from human inspired gimmickry and slavish mimicry to think through for themselves how to enable God to work in their lives and ministry.
Spurgeon was the minister of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London during the Victorian era. The author of numerous books, his sermons were reprinted and sold in tens of millions. Thousands gathered to hear him preach but he was not just an eloquent man, he was a man driven to taking the gospel to the people with the utmost urgency.

About the Author

Spurgeon, the great Victorian preacher, was a leading campaigner against Liberal Theology and one of the most influential people of the 2nd half of the 19th Century. He is known as the 'Prince of Preachers'. His sermons drew thousands to his church. Yet, at the heart of his desire to preach was a fierce love of people, a desire that meant that he did not neglect his pastoral ministry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended reading!!!, January 16, 1999

This review is from: Soul Winner (Paperback)

What can compare to the joy of winning a soul to Christ? C.H. Spurgeon will have you chomping at the bit to go out and win souls, one at a time, for the Lord! This truly is a life-changing book. It is certainly the best $5 I've ever spent! If you've ever thought you weren't cut-out to be a soul winner, Spurgeon will prove you wrong! In a nutshell, soul-winning is about having a deep desire to be used by God and a painfully genuine love for your fellow man, and no one explains this as well as the timeless Spurgeon. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you must have the gift of Evangelism in order to win souls for Christ! I certainly don't have that gift, I'm just an ordinary person, but this book has been of immense practical value to me, and I have seen fruit result already. This is a must-read for Christians who want to make every day count for eternity. Soul-winning is not about following a formula, its about having a passion for the lost. Read this book and let its message rekindle the fire to share the gospel. Be among the laborers in the end time harvest! Remember, the Holy Spirit uses anyone who is willing to be used. ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting Back to Basics!, May 31, 2001

By 

Rhonda Sheets (Bellbrook, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Soul Winner (Paperback)

How did it happen that we've moved so far from our purpose as Christians? All creation waits for us - the Christian - to be revealed so that they too have the hope that is within us! Spurgeon once again gets us back to basics and teaches us about ourselves so that we can fulfill the call - the way God intended. I read the first half of The Soul Winner on a flight from Colorado to Ohio and could not stop the flow of tears while I once again felt God speaking to my heart and leading me back to the passion of soul winning. This book will cause your heart to break with the things that break God's heart. I am buying more and passing them along to others from church leaders to my family. Quick - get the book before it's too late - in more ways than one!

What? evangelism without applied psychology? without arm twisting? without tricks? Those who want modern methods need not apply here.
