Book Description

Steadfast upon the Rock I stand, Upheld by God’s almighty hand. In him I move, I live, or die, In him I’ll dwell beyond the sky. Charles Haddon Spurgeon was a beloved and celebrated preacher and pastor of the 19th century. But unbeknownst to many, in the quiet habitation of his private life, his prayers poured forth in poetry. Edited by Spurgeon scholar Geoffrey Chang, Christ Our All: Poems for the Christian Pilgrim allows readers to discover the poetic soul of Charles Spurgeon. The collection includes 186 never-before-published poems penned by the “Prince of Preachers” and 43 poems and hymns published during his lifetime. Written as private prayers or devotional exercises, these poems express Spurgeon’s sorrows, hopes, and love for God with striking imagery and bold conviction. Christ Our All serves as more than a mere anthology—it is a remarkable treasure awaiting discovery. This volume is meant to be read devotionally, and each poem includes a reference to a passage of Scripture for reflection and prayer. Delve into the hidden depths of a beloved preacher's heart and embark on a poetic pilgrimage with Christ Our All, a remarkable treasure that will ignite your soul and leave you yearning for a deeper connection with God.
