- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very good book. There may have been some license but the authors main point was the relationship between Spurgeon and Johnson.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is an excellent book! I don’t think I’ve ever read a biography about Charles Spurgeon before, but I’ve heard his name a lot, and have read a few of his writings. This book tells his story, and it also tells the story of a former slave, Thomas Johnson. Before I read this book, I’d never heard of Johnson. I also didn’t know that Spurgeon struggled with depression most of his life, or that he and his wife had so many health issues. It was an encouraging read because even though there weren’t any quick fixes in his path (and he suffered from depression right up until the end of his life), Spurgeon remained faithful to the Lord throughout and tried to surround himself with people who spoke the truth to him. After reading this book, I’m looking forward to learning more about him and reading more of his writings. This was well-written and engaging—one I’d like to have on the shelf one day!
