A preacher and tutor of great renown, C. H. Spurgeon led an eventful life. Gaining prominence while still a young man, Spurgeon captivated audiences with his charismatic preaching - he had a unique ability to meld sometimes complex scholarship of the Bible with his speeches, in a way that let audiences understand clearly the spiritual wisdom. This quality is amply demonstrated in Spurgeon's lectures, which are plainly written but contain much practical knowledge for students. Where other editions of these lectures have omitted or truncate some of the author's words, this printing does not. All twenty-eight of Spurgeon's original talks, which concern topics such as joining the Christian ministry; how a minister should converse; how one should gesture and behave upon the podium; and the message the preacher should convey to his audience. Together, these lectures constitute a preaching masterclass from one of Christianity's most iconic ministers. Spurgeon's charismatic personality, keen wit and oratorical ability transcended Christian denominations, and his lessons on engaging an audience and imparting the wisdom of God to listeners are for all time.

I have read this book carefully. I was contacted by the seller that he had spotted several notes that were not in the description. I decided to purchase the book anyway. It turns out that this book was from the personal library of the seller, a book that he used in preparation for the ministry. The notes were thorough and indeed priceless. I read and digested the matter contained in the text and notes, and after sitting through a sermon given by a young divinity student during our Pastor's absence ended up giving it to him. Even without the notes, Lectures to My Students written by the great Charles Haddon Spurgeon gives timeless advice to Pastors and would be Pastors. This book was a real treasure for all who are even interested in the ministry. The young man I gave the book to is bright well intentioned, but not ready for primetime. This book that he now owns will go a long way in preparing him for his calling. Any advice from Spurgeon, probably the finest preacher of his century is priceless and ageless.
