Authority and inerrancy of Scripture
C. H. Spurgeon, the great Victorian preacher, was one of the most influential people of the second half of the 19th Century. At the heart of his desire to preach was a fierce love of people, a desire that meant he did not neglect his pastoral ministry.
This sparkling and startling address... is perhaps the most rousing
call to gospel arms you will ever encounter. If you can read it
without being profoundly stirred, I strongly suggest you seek
urgent spiritual help.

The clarity and power of the themes... were timely then, and they
seem just as timely today.
*Mark Dever (Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church and
President, 9Marks.org, Washington, DC)*
It is a jeremiad overladen with a sense of having been defeated for
the moment, bloodied, but finally unbowed, and confident that truth
will rebound to take a firmer grasp on the people of God than
ever.
*Tom Nettles (Senior Professor of Historical Theology, The Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky)*
There was a mouse who gathered around a number of mice and said to
them, "Let me commend to you an elephant. What seems a tree trunk
on our right is actually one of his legs and he has three others
just like this. His nose from top to bottom is as long as thirty
mice end to end. His skin is so tough that we'd break our teeth
trying to gnaw it. When he makes a noise it shatters your ear
drums. He is so tall I cannot see the top of his head. So be aware
of this extraordinary being; be respectful and get out of his way
when he walks by because we are so tiny he won't notice us. But he
will never knowingly hurt us. He feeds on grass and leaves. He is
benign and good. This is the elephant, the king of the jungle." So
it is when any preacher today is asked to commend a book of Charles
Haddon Spurgeon's. A mouse is going to commend an elephant. We will
add nothing at all to his reputation. He is simply utterly immense
in his preaching, his energy, the size of his heart, his generosity
and humour, his love for God, his discernment and wisdom. Read
anything of his, and these addresses towards the end of his life
are as good a place to begin to learn about one of God's true
giants as any of his writing, and never stop reading him.
*Geoff Thomas (Conference Speaker and author, Aberystwyth,
Wales)*
The Greatest Fight in the World by Charles Spurgeon, like William
Gurnall's The Christian in Complete Armor is not so much an example
of expository preaching but a vivid and Biblical body of divinity
describing the Gospel saturated life of the church in general and
the Christian in particular who desires to serve Christ faithfully
'in the world' but not be 'of the world'. Christian Focus has, once
again, provided for us another asset to fulfill our Savior's Great
Commission - '...to make disciples...'
*Harry L. Reeder III ((1948 – 2023) Senior Pastor, Briarwood
Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, Alabama)*
Always a wordsmith, Mr. Spurgeon leverages the power of language in
this volume for spiritual motivation like nowhere else.
*Rick Holland (Senior Pastor, Mission Road Bible Church, Kansas
City, Kansas)*
