About the Author
C. H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) the great Victorian preacher, was one of the most influential people in the world during the second half of the 19th century. The text of his Sunday sermons were published all over England in newspapers on Monday. Converted in 1850 at age 16, he immediately manifested unusual gifts and preached his first sermon only a year later at age 17. In 1854, he was called to be pastor of New Park Street Baptist Church, where he continued for six years until the crowds attending required the construction of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, where he served as pastor for the next 32 years.
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. The Pastor’s College was founded in 1857, at which thousands of men were trained for the Christian ministry and sent all over the world. He was married to his wife Susannah and they had two sons. Spurgeon was well-known also for numerous books and published editions of his sermons, among them the vast and rich seven-volume The Treasury of David, the most comprehensive commentary on the Psalms ever published.

Spurgeon’s Sorrows: Realistic Hope for those who Suffer from Depression (Zack Eswine)
$8.25Depression affects many people both personally and through the ones we love. Here Zack Eswine draws the experience of from Charles Spurgeon to encourage us. What Spurgeon found in his darkness can serve as a light in our own darkness. Zack Eskwine brings you here, not a self-help guide, but rather ‘a handwritten note of one who wishes you well.’
“Spurgeon, from his early years to his final days, found dark distress ever hovering on the edges of his mind and sometimes launching an all out assault on his very being. How he managed all this, by the grace of God, both for himself and for others, drives both the gripping content and the riveting literary style of Zack Eswine in this book.”

A Lifting Up for the Downcast (William Bridge) (#1)
$9.75These thirteen sermons on Psalm 42:11, preached at Stepney, London, in the year 1648 are the work of a true physician of souls. In dealing with believers suffering from spiritual depression, Bridge manifests great insight into the causes of the saints’ discouragements such as great sins, weak grace, failure in duties, want of assurance, temptation, desertion and affliction.
A correct diagnosis is more than half the cure, but Bridge does not leave his readers there. He gives directions for applying the remedy. For example, in dealing with ‘great sins’ he says:  “If you would be truly humbled and not be discouraged; not be discouraged and yet be humbled; then beat and drive up all your sin to your unbelief, and lay the stress and weight of all your sorrow upon that sin.”
The general causes of spiritual depression are the same in every age. Downcast Christians today can find help here as surely as did past generations.
