Spurgeon’s Hidden Strength

Donald Whitney on C.H. Spurgeon

Charles Spurgeon is remembered primarily as a preacher, yet those closest to him knew that the public ministry was fed by long, hidden hours of prayer. Whitney notes that what is often unrecognized is how much of Spurgeon’s endurance and power traced back to the private life with God that no congregation saw. The visible rests on the invisible.
