Spurgeon's Pastoral Wisdom

Publisher's note:

This collection of articles from The Sword and the Trowel provides a first-hand look at Spurgeon’s vision for ministry. In it, readers will find Spurgeon’s convictions on church structure, including meaningful membership, church discipline, and the biblical roles of elders and deacons; his practical teaching on pastoral ministry, such as sermon preparation, leading congregational prayer, and reaching the next generation; and his counsel for facing the personal trials of the ministry, from financial pressures, to the fear of man, discouragement, and much more.

Though written more than a century ago, these articles remain a source of wisdom for today’s pastors navigating the same perennial challenges. This volume is an essential guide for any leader labouring to maintain a faithful, Christ-centred ministry in the twenty-first century.
