Gold from Spurgeon


If you are considering ministry or if you have found yourself in ministry already then I need to give you some mandatory reading... I read this about a year ago when I was flirting with the idea of going into full-time ministry at a church. It was formative for me and now as I re read I am floored by how anointed this man was and continues to be through his writing. What I am commending to you is at least the first three chapters of Lectures to My Students by C. H. Spurgeon. It is dynamite and it might save your life and the lives of others if you simply read the first three chapters. If you have already found yourself in ministry then also read chapter 11 "The Minister's Fainting Fits".

Here is a link to read online but it would be a good one to hold in your lap or throw at a wall. (Some books are challenging and this is one of them)
