Start Here But Don't End Here

January 14, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Dallimore's "New Biography" is a fast paced easy read. It has a satisfying but non-exciting flavor to it. I am quite glad that I have started with this book. It seemed like the 2 vol. autobiography (which I will certainly move onto next)was too much of a commitment for a first biography and Ian Murray's "Forgotten Spurgeon" was too specific. So Dallimore's work certainly has a place among the many biographies of the Prince of Preachers.

I appreciated the even survey of the book. He doesn't drill down too much into any period of his life but you don't feel like he skipped anything. You simply feel curious... curious for more sermons and journal entries and I found myself especially curious as to what made this man tick internally.

If I may make a criticism of a biographical survey, I found his chapter on Spurgeon's character to be dissatisfying. There was meager discussion of Spurgeon's struggle with depression, something I'm extremely interested in. I was also slightly disappointed by the author's change in tone when he discussed Spurgeon's tobacco and alcohol preferences... though the selected quotes are quite memorable.

I was also pleased that it was, as one expects from The Banner of Truth, a good hearty paperback that won't yellow or dissolve in 5-10 years. By the way, its cheaper over at the Westminster online bookstore.

All in all, it was a good book, but not one I'll read again.

Engaging Trip through the Life of an Awesome Man of God

October 7, 2007

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Arnold Dallimore's books about the great evangelist George Whitefield enthralled me with every turn of the page. This biography of the Rev. Charles Spurgeon is up to Dallimore's high standards. You'll learn about Spurgeon's voracious appetite for reading, his thorough knowledge of Christian theology at a young age, and his heartfelt conversiona t the age of sixteen while listening to a layman preach on Isaiah 45:22.

You'll also learn of the wonderful married life he had with his wife Susannah, and of his spellbinding, down to earth sermons. You'll marvel as the Baptist church he pastors grows to about 6000 members.

You'll also learn of his health crises and of his battles with depression. You'll also see that even though Spurgeon was a great man of God who started a college for ministers, he still had plenty of enemies both within and outside of the body of Christ.

This is a compact, action packed, engaging study of a great life. I give it a very high recommendation.

I am a senior citizen so I have heard about Charles Spurgeon all my life. It was a blessing to read about him. He was certainly a gifted man who honored God in a humble way. M. A. Ramgren

A Great Introduction to the Prince of Preachers

March 14, 2007

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This was my first book on Charles Spurgeon, and I have to say that it sparked my interest so much that I proceeded to his 4 volume Autobiography! Dallimore writes very well, breaks down the material into short, manageable chapters, and liberally uses the words of Spurgeon himself to give the reader a good snapshot of the preacher. One of the things I like about this book is that while Dallimore gives us a good clear picture of Spurgeon the man, he also provides the reader a faithful glimpse of Spurgeon the servant of God. I could not help but be inspired by the work of God in this man. This is a biography of Charles Spurgeon, but it is ultimately about the incredible local and global work of Christ through one of His humble servants. If you are looking for a short, first book on Spurgeon, then this is the one. It is concise, accurate, faithful to the man himself, and inspirational.

Just finished this one. Dallimore is a wonderful writer! This Bio along with Ian Murray's Bio on Spurgeon makes for a marriage made in heaven concerning books!

Great story of the Prince of Preachers

I have read much of Bro. Spurgeon's work over the years and I really enjoyed this biography. Although not a large volume I thought it did a good job describing his work, his theology, and his personal life and I highly recommend it.
