The figures associated with Charles Haddon Spurgeon’s ministry are staggering. Between his preaching and the printings of his sermons, he reached hundreds of thousands of people, in his lifetime and in the years since. But he was not an itinerant preacher or writer or philanthropist. He faithfully served the Metropolitan Tabernacle from his arrival in 1854 to his death in 1892. Undergirding everything else was this central responsibility: Spurgeon was the pastor of a church. What was Spurgeon’s ecclesiology and how did it affect how he ordered and led his local church? Chang examines Spurgeon’s Reformed ecclesiology and Baptist polity and looks at how they were shaped by his militant church outlook in this first book in the Spurgeon’s Legacy series.

Steadfast upon the Rock I stand, Upheld by God's almighty hand. In him I move, I live, or die, In him I'll dwell beyond the sky. Charles Haddon Spurgeon was a beloved and celebrated preacher and pastor of the 19th century. But unbeknownst to many, in the quiet habitation of his private life, his prayers poured forth in poetry. Edited by Spurgeon scholar Geoffrey Chang, Christ Our All: Poems for the Christian Pilgrim offers an intimate glimpse into the soul of Charles Spurgeon. The collection includes 186 never-before-published poems penned by the "Prince of Preachers" and 43 poems and hymns published during his lifetime. Written as private prayers or devotional exercises, these poems express Spurgeon's sorrows, hopes, and love for God with striking imagery and bold conviction. Christ Our All serves as more than a mere anthology--it is a remarkable treasure awaiting discovery. This volume is meant to be read devotionally, and each poem includes a reference to a passage of Scripture for reflection and prayer. Delve into the hidden depths of a beloved preacher's heart and embark on a poetic pilgrimage with Christ Our All, a remarkable treasure that will ignite your soul and leave you yearning for a deeper connection with God.
