The Child is Father of the Man
C. H. Spurgeon
Tom Nettles
From the author of ‘Living by Revealed Truth’
Famous 19th Century Baptist preacher
Key factors that molded Spurgeon
Tom Nettles examines the life of one of the world’s most famous preachers. He isolates key convictions that appear in Spurgeon’s life either before or immediately after his conversion, and traces them through his life as he develops into the charming, interesting, confident, humble, spiritual–minded man and pastor whose work and witness dominated evangelicalism in the last half of the nineteenth century.

Christian Focus
… brilliantly focusses on ten key moments, convictions really, that shaped the larger–than–life Charles Haddon Spurgeon. These convictions steeled Spurgeon to weather controversy, depression, and setbacks. Through it all, Spurgeon’s exuberant love for God, the gospel, and for the church shines through.

… perhaps the most, well–rounded treatment of Charles Spurgeon that has been achieved in Spurgeonic literature. A must read not only for pastors but for all Christians in learning how to love and serve Christ with unflinching fidelity.

… shows how the remarkable fruitfulness of Spurgeon’s ministry developed from tiny seeds sown in his childhood and youth. Readers will enjoy the remarkable insights from a writer who is not only a Spurgeon scholar, but a man who has served the church as a professor of historical theology for more than forty years.
Donald S Whitney
Professor of Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky
There is depth in the study, and there is breadth, and—perhaps most preciously—there is a happy recognition of the grace of God, the beauty of Christ, and the power of the Spirit, upon which Spurgeon’s ministry depended and in which he himself delighted.
