Beloved nineteenth-century pastor Charles Spurgeon wrestled with dark depression, debilitating illness, personal sorrow, and ministerial trials. Suffering was not just a component of his life--it was the dark cloud that hung over all his labors and accomplishments. Yet Spurgeon leaned into the caring hands of his unchanging, compassionate Savior who experienced suffering himself.
Your Only Comfort draws from Spurgeon's best teachings on suffering to bring that comfort to a new generation. Suffering is inevitable in a fallen world, but it is in the middle of distress that the truth of our hope shines brightest. We can rest in the steadfast goodness of Christ, cling to God's promises to bring good from our trials, and rejoice in the eternal glory that awaits believers.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a British Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the "Prince of Preachers." He preached his first sermon, from 1 Peter 2:7, in 1851 at 16 and became pastor of the Church in Waterbeach in 1852. He published more than 1,900 different sermons and preached to around 10,000,000 people during his lifetime. In addition, Spurgeon was a prolific author of many types of works including an autobiography, a commentary, books on prayer, a devotional, a magazine, poetry, hymnist and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were later translated into many languages. Arguably, no other author, Christian or otherwise, has more material in print than C.H. Spurgeon.
