Endorsements
“On the one hand, there is theology; on the other hand, there is spirituality—and never the twain shall meet, except perhaps accidentally. That, at least, is the common perception. This series puts the lie to the popular polarization. The theologians treated in this series do not add ‘spirituality’ to their theology, as if it were an optional extra. Rather, theology and spirituality are so intertwined, as these theologians gladly bend their minds and hearts under Scripture, that it is utterly impossible to have one without the other. And thereby they teach us, by their modeling, what theology and spirituality should be.”
—D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“Evangelicals tend to think that we invented discipleship ministry in the mid-twentieth century. Truth be told, however, churchly theologians have long been keen about infusing Christian practice with the wisdom of the Lord. This excellent series does just that. These books are far more than biographies. They are guides to daily living that help us learn from some of the wisest life coaches the Christian church has ever had.”
—Douglas A. Sweeney, Professor of Church History, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“I am grateful for Crossway’s innovative Theologians on the Christian Life series. No mere biographies, these books reveal how some of history’s greatest pastors and scholars—luminaries such as Augustine, Calvin, and Edwards—weave together the life of the mind and the heart in practical devotion to the triune God.”
—Thomas S. Kidd, Professor of History, Baylor University; author, The Great Awakening
“I love biography and history. But it’s not always apparent how I can apply their lessons and insights to my life today. That’s why I’m thankful for the Theologians on the Christian Life series. In these books, today’s top scholars search for treasure in the writing of some of history’s most remarkable Christians and share the bounty with us. Get these books and watch them invigorate your spiritual life.”
—Collin Hansen, Editorial Director, The Gospel Coalition; author, Young, Restless, Reformed: A Journalist’s Journey with the New Calvinists

Charles Spurgeon: Who is the Greatest?
$6.99It was a cold winter’s day in the year 1850, when a young man went into a church, only to escape the bad weather. But he got more than he planned on for going in there! The first words he heard were those of an elderly preacher calling out “Look unto me and be saved.”
The preacher had read Isaiah 45:22 and the young man was Charles Spurgeon. Charles had heard the gospel message before from his parents at home. He knew he was a great sinner and that Jesus was the only one who could save him from his sin. From that day onward, he would serve the Lord Jesus Christ. And sooner than anyone expected, he became a preacher of the gospel of grace.
Many in England and America looked up to Charles as the greatest preacher they had ever heard. But Charles knew there was no greatness in himself and that only Jesus is The Great One. He never thought of himself as more than a needy sinner who was privileged to bring the gospel of God’s grace to others.

Christ’s Glorious Achievements (Charles Spurgeon)
$6.95The popular view of Christianity today is a list of rules. Do’s and Don’t seems to be what it is all about. But if that’s what we think Christianity is all about then we have a lot to learn. The key to understanding Christianity is not something we have to do, but rather something that Jesus Christ has already achieved on our behalf.
This book, by one of the most influential Christians of the last 200 years, looks at what Christ has done for us. Read it and then ask yourself the question “If Christ has done all this for me, is anything I am asked to do for Christ too much in return?”
