The Minister’s Self-Watch & The Minister’s Fainting Fits
Book Description:
Perhaps two of the most common reasons for men leaving the ministry today are moral failure and depression, or ‘burn-out.’
The two addresses in this booklet have been selected from C. H. Spurgeon’s well-known Lectures to My Students (also published by the Trust), with the hope that they will be of real practical help to pastors. The Minister’s Self-Watch will help you guard your heart, life, and teaching. The Minister’s Fainting Fits will supply much needed encouragement to persevere in the work the Master has given you to do.
‘May he in whose hand are the churches and their pastors bless these words to younger brethren in the ministry, and if so I shall count it more than a full reward, and shall greatly praise the Lord.’
--C. H. Spurgeon
Author:
During most of the second half of the 19th century, Charles Spurgeon was England’s best-known preacher, becoming converted to Christianity at the age of 15 in 1850. During the 1850s, London’s largest halls overflowed with people wanting to hear this youthful minister preach. During the 1860s, he founded the Metropolitan Tabernacle, along with a college for pastors and an orphanage, and he was already publishing sermons and a monthly magazine. He authored many books, with some of the most popular Charles Spurgeon books including Flowers From a Puritan’s Garden with its inspiring illustrations and meditations; A Defence of Calvinism, where Spurgeon explains and defends Biblical teachings about God’s grace in the Gospels; and the C.H. Spurgeon Autobiography, volumes 1 and 2.
