Endorsements

“In his new book, Living by Revealed Truth: The Life and Pastoral Theology of Charles Spurgeon, Nettles presents the ministerial brilliance of “the Prince of Preachers”, whose pastoral labors transcend generations down to this present hour.  Revered by many as the greatest preacher since the Apostle Paul, readers will be encouraged and edified by this engaging account of Spurgeon’s life and ministry.”

— Steven J. Lawson, Senior Pastor, Christ Fellowship Church, Mobile, Alabama

“It has long been my conviction that, despite the goodly number of Spurgeon biographies that have been written since the Baptist preacher’s death in 1892, there really is lacking a definitive study that not only takes account of his remarkable ministry and the inspiring details of his life, but also adequately deals with the theology of the man.  Finally, in this work by my dear colleague Tom Nettles, a sort of magnum opus upon which he has labored for many years, is justice done to not only Spurgeon the man and preacher, also to Spurgeon the theologian. Here is an “all-round” study of Spurgeon that provides us with a fully reliable, substantial examination of an extremely important figure in the life of Victorian Evangelicalism and the world of that era.”
