Absolutely the best biography of Charles Haddon Spurgeon available. Every Christian should read this inspiring biography. The Sword of the Lord has republished this edition in a beautiful hardback book with a professional dusk cover. Besides the biography, there is a section containing several sermons and lectures by Spurgeon. In addition, the book concludes with a section of short, quaint illustrations presenting wisdom for living, which Spurgeon had published under the title of John Ploughman's talks.
