This week in books - Week 3
Susannah Spurgeon: Free Grace and Dying Love
Though I doubt very many Christians have not heard of C.H. Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, far fewer know of the wonderful woman behind this great man of God. This book is half a devotional book with her writings, and half a biography of her life. I loved both parts. Her writings are rich and deep and touching and reading of her life was even moreso. Her love for the Lord, her devotion to her husband, and her dedication to serving others - even when she was an invalid - was motivational and inspiring to me.
I especially loved this quote by her husband: "None know how grateful I am to God for you. In all I have ever done for Him you have had a large share, for in making me so happy you have fitted me for service. Not an ounce of power has ever been lost to the good cause through you. I have served the Lord far more and never less for your sweet companionship."

Crystal,
I'm also reading a book about Mrs. Spurgeon (although it is taking me a long time).
Have you read Marriage To a Difficult Man The Uncommon Union of Johnathan and Sarah Edwards? I am absolutely loving it! It truly has inspired me! From what I gather about books you've read, I think you would love it!
