My intention in writing this message is that many will be led to the Lord Jesus. It is sent forth in childlike dependence on the power of God the Holy Spirit to be used in the conversion of millions if He so pleases. No doubt many men and women will read this volume and the Lord will bless them with grace. For this reason, the clearest language has been chosen and many simple expressions have been used. But if scholars should happen to glance at this book, the Holy Spirit can impress them, also. Oh, that some might read this who will become great winners of souls!
Who knows how many will find their way to peace by what they read here? A more important question for you is this: Will you be one of them?
A certain man placed a fountain along a busy road. Then, he hung a cup near to it by a little chain. He was told some time after that a great art critic had found much fault with its design. "But," said he, "do many thirsty people drink at it?" Then they told him that thousands of poor people, men, women, and children, quenched their thirst at this fountain. He smiled and said that he was not troubled by the critic's observation. He only hoped that on some hot summer's day the critic himself might fill the cup and be refreshed and praise the name of the Lord.
Here is my fountain, and here is my cup. Find fault if you wish, but do drink of the water of life. I only care for this. I would rather bless the soul of the poorest street cleaner or rag-gatherer than please a prince and fail to convert him to God.
Are you serious about reading these pages? If so, we are agreed at the outset. But, my goal is nothing short of your finding Christ and heaven. Oh, that we may seek this together! I do so by dedicating this book with prayer. Will you not join me by looking up to God and asking Him to bless you while you read? Providence has put these pages before you. You have a little spare time in which to read them, and you feel willing to give them your attention. These are good signs. Who knows, maybe the time of blessing has come for you. At any rate, "The Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts"(Hebrews 3:7-8).

Spurgeon explains what the gospel is so well and beautifully. If you don't understand what Christianity is all about: READ THIS! If you are a Christian and want to spend your time well, read this and sit in awe that there is a God who justifies the ungodly.

This book is a fountain of joy and peace - easy to read and explains in plain ways the meaning of God's love towards us. Whether you're searching to know God, or are beginning to follow Christ or have been for a lifetime this book is right for you.

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.Charles Spurgeon, called the Prince of Preachers, has written the best explanation of why people need salvation; How that salvation was provided through Christ Jesus; and How righteousness is obtained for one's soul. If there is one book to give someone to read that can change their life forever then this could be the one. The Gospel found in the Holy Scripture is most important and this book contains and could possibly be the best explanation of what the Gospel truly is. If you've gone to church your whole life and heard preachers and priests speak of the Gospel but never truly understood what that meant then this is the book to read and share. Spurgeon is direct and to the point and oh so simple to understand. Read this book and then buy numerous copies to give to anyone who inquires about the Gospel and God and salvation.
