Spurgeon’s Sorrows

Realistic Hope for those who Suffer from Depression

Zack Eswine

You can almost taste Spurgeon's tears in this book... Eswine's gentle, poetic, unmasking of Spurgeon's inner turmoil may become a soothing balm for your soul. It may not heal you, but a healthy empathy emerges when you read about the struggles of a man who has walked down the same dark alleys you stumble along, and somehow found God in the valley of despair. If you don't struggle with depression yourself, it will help you love those who do!

Roger Ibrahim has produced a fascinating little treasure trove of quotes to inject renewed confidence into our often faltering souls. This is not a series of superficial ‘one liners’.
