About the Author:
Charles Haddon (C. H.) Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a British Baptist preacher. He started preaching at age 17 and quickly became famous. He is still known as the "Prince of Preachers" and frequently had more than 10,000 people present to hear him preach at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. His sermons were printed in newspapers, translated into many languages, and published in many books.
Hungarian Summary:
Charles Haddon Spurgeon az angliai Kelvedon-Essex falucskában született, elsőként egy 17 gyermekes családban. Prédikátor apja istenfélelemre nevelte. 16 éves korában egy hirtelen hóvihar bekényszerítette a methodista kápolnába, ahol Jézus Krisztusban új életre jutott, elnyerve bűnei bocsánatát.
Fiatal élete egész hevével, odaszánásával lépten-nyomon bizonyságot tett Isten megváltó, hívogató szeretetéről; két évvel később már egy kis gyülekezet lelkésze lett. Önszorgalomból megtanulta az ógörög és héber nyelvet, bibliamagyarázatokat tanulmányozott, mindenekelőtt Kálvin írásait. 20 évesen egy londoni gyülekezet lelkipásztorának hívta meg.
Igehirdetései annyira hatással voltak egyre növekvő hallgatóságára, hogy Londonban a legnagyobb csarnok sem volt elegendő a tömeg befogadására. Felépítették a 7000 férőhelyes „Metropolitan Tabernacle” imaházat, ahol Spurgeon 30 éven át mindig telt ház előtt hirdette a Szentírás titkait. A Biblia volt életének és mondanivalójának középpontja és egyedüli mércéje. Térden állva kérte el és kapta Istentől, amit mély átéléssel adott tovább hallgatóinak. Prédikációit példákkal illusztrálta és egészséges, nemes humorral fűszerezte. Spurgeon 40 éven át, megalkuvás nélkül szolgálta Megváltóját. Igehirdetéseit, könyveit sok nyelvre lefordították, keresztyének között az egész világon ismerik és szeretik.
English Summary:
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) was England’s best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. After a childhood in Essex, when he owed much to Christian parents and grandparents, he was converted in 1850 at the age of fifteen. He was then assisting at a school in Cambridge and it was in these Cambridge years that he came to Baptist principles and was called to the Baptist pastorate in the near-by village of Waterbeach. From there he moved to New Park Street, London in 1854 at the age of nineteen. Roughly speaking, Spurgeon’s public work can be divided up into four decades. Through the 1850s he was ‘The Youthful Prodigy’ who seemed to have stepped full-grown into the pulpit. At the age of twenty the largest halls in London were filled to hear him; at twenty-one the newspapers spoke of him as ‘incomparably the most popular preacher of the day’; when he was twenty-three, 23,654 people heard him at a service in the Crystal Palace. In the next decade, the 1860s, his work might best be described in terms of ‘The Advancement of Gospel Agencies’. The institutions which he founded, and for which he remained responsible, included a College to train pastors; a publications enterprise (with a weekly published sermon and a monthly magazine The Sword and the Trowel); an Orphanage; a Colportage Association to spread Christian literature; and above all the Metropolitan Tabernacle itself, opened for the church he served in 1861 and capable of holding about 6,000. The congregation which he pastored grew from 314 in 1854 to 5,311 in 1892. Onlookers often supposed that so many enterprises could never be maintained at the high level of usefulness with which they began, but they were, and the 1870s might well be described in terms of ‘Holding the Ground’. On every front the work was being blessed. Then came the 1880s and by far the most difficult period in Spurgeon’s life. In this last decade he was faced with increasing controversy and a title for his last years could well be his own words, ‘In Opposition to So Many’. By the time Spurgeon was fifty-seven in 1891 his health was utterly broken. When he left Herne Hill station, London, on 26 October 1891, for the south of France, he said to the friends who came to say good-bye, ‘The fight is killing me’. He died at Menton three months later.
"It is not the object of this book to ask anything of you, but to tell you that salvation is ALL OF GRACE, which means, free, gratis, for nothing." Charles Spurgeon is a cornerstone of the Christian religion. A preacher and teacher, his sermons have spread all over the world and his many printed works have been treasured classic for decades. All of Grace is a simple and eloquent presentation of basic salvation through grace alone. Spurgeon wants readers only to consume his work and ponder it, he asks nothing in return because he believes in the power of God to bring unbelievers to Him. As one reviewer puts it well: "[Spurgeon] brings the gospel to his readers with pointed illustrations, well-placed anecdotes, irrefutable arguments, heart-felt pleas, and (above all else) the plainly-spoken and rightly-applied word of God." This short and easy read is both a perfect introduction to salvation and an assurance of it for unbelievers and the saved alike. In the last line, Spurgeon beseeches readers to accept salvation now and "Meet me in heaven." |
