Recommended Resource – Spurgeon on the Priority of Prayer

Post Icon

Charles Spurgeon always challenges me (Chuck). Here’s what the editor of this book, Jason Allen, wrote: “Whether in Spurgeon’s day or in ours, the urge to hustle through prayer (or skip it altogether) in order to tackle our daily responsibilities is a temptation we all face. But in this regard, we can learn from Spurgeon, and I’ve compiled this book toward that end.”

Spurgeon on the Priority of Prayer by Jason K. Allen

“Volume 1 of the Spurgeon Speaks series collects Spurgeon’s reflections and meditations on the importance of prayer in the Christian life. He was known as a mighty man of prayer, and his insights will deepen your prayer life as well.”
