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. ;-)

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.

This has to be the very best book ever written on evangelism. It once and for all explodes the myth that evangelism and calvinism are uneasy bedfellows. Read and be inspired!

The most encouraging book in this area that I've read

This book is nothing less than Awesome! This is the best book i have ever bought for under 5 dollars. I loved this book so much that I ended up buying hard copies of this book and giving it away to the sold out believers in My church. This book is powerful. It may change your church and make it a soul winning powerhouse if the Lord says the same.
The book is written as if Charles Spurgeoun is lecturing his students on how to win souls and preach the Gospel. He goes into fine detail and avoids stale cliches and systems and scripts. Instead He implores His readers to get in touch with the Holy Spirit and do things the right way as God would have. Buy it Buy it Buy it now if you have the least bit interest in soul winning, evangelism, feeding Gods sheep, Bible teacher or sunday/sidewalk preacher. It will be an invaluable book to add to the collection

if you have read his "lectures to his students," and enjoyed it, this book will not disappoint. it is written with similar fashion, highly practical and classic spurgeon advice that seems to ring more true of the very wisdom of God than of man. he cuts no corners and puts everything on the table. every chapter is worth the price... as if there is a price tag on growing in Christ and being the ministers of His grace that He calls us to be. God's grace is sufficient for us in ministry (2 Cor 9:8), but by all means, get this book and it shall be profitable to the reader as well as to the kingdom... and if you haven't done so already, grab his "lectures" as well.

I'm surprised that this book doesn't show up on any reading lists at churches. It is awesome! Witty, thoughtful and biblically right on. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the analagies and reasoning he used to get points through. One thing that I still remember is it clarified how people interpret the gospel depending on how it is presented and what their particular situation is. It has been so helpful to me in presenting the gospel accurately and considerately.

Spurgeon is the master of painting vivid pictures with his words. He has the best analogies and the best clarity of anyone I've ever read. This book on 'Soul Winning,' or leading sinners to the Savior is the best book I've ever read on evangelism... ever (and I've read quite a few). Why? Because it absolutely drives me to God. And that drives me to evangelize and be a 'soul winner.' This book absolutely rocked me, humbled me, and comforted me. It has reminded me of my own salvation and reminded me of the other salvations I have seen. The most shocking thing to me in this book was Spurgeon's absolute confidence that GOD would SAVE. He had full confidence because he knew the power in the message he preached and the God who worked through the message. It has filled me with so much wisdom and helped me to see my faults in areas I needed to see them. It heavily uses the word of God (it is Spurgeon after all) which pierces my heart. It is, I'd say, the best Christian book I've ever read in my life. MUST READ.

I have long had problems with books on evangelism. Too much seems to hang in the balance according to feelings. How I feel about this or that, whether or not I feel like I ought to do such-and-such. Spurgeon unapologetically reminds us of every member of the church's responsibility to share the Gospel. Yet he provides very practical and surprisingly relevant advice for those who would wish to do so. This is the only book on the subject (outside of the Bible, of course) that has motivated me to go a-soul-winning. I would recommend it to anyone who is afraid of evangelism, a seasoned evangelist, or someone curious about this thing called evangelism. It speaks to all three and more in a timeless and accurate manner, without a hint of dryness; indeed, it's a pretty entertaining book to read overall.
