About this title

Synopsis

Do you need to learn how to speak in public about Christ? Charles Spurgeon teaches not only how to compose and deliver a speech, but how to choose a text, how to hold the audience's attention, the secrets of power in preaching, how to deliver prayers, and how to control the voice so as to hold people's attention. The lectures in this book also deal with the psychological and social pressures faced by preachers. These were informal talks Spurgeon gave to his students on Fridays. He is relaxed and humorous as he speaks to them with the voice of experience. The Preachers' College was founded to provide instruction on evangelizing and preaching for students of all backgrounds, no matter what their previous level of education.

From the Back Cover

One contemporary scholar and authority on Spurgeon says of this work: 'Next to Mr. Spurgeon's great literary work, The Treasury of David, we consider (these) Lectures to My Students his greatest single contribution to the Christian world. There is more practical wisdom, common sense and sage advice packed within these pages than with any other book of similar size, or content.' This complete and unabridged edition of Spurgeon's great work will make it possible for today's generation to appreciate Spurgeon's combination of discerning wit and refreshingly practical advice. Included in the twenty-eight chapters of this classic volume are lectures such as: - The Call to Ministry - The Preacher's Private Prayer - On the Choice of a Text - On the Voice - The Holy Spirit in Connection with Our Ministry - The Blind Eye and the Deaf Ear - On Conversion as Our Aim - Illustrations in Preaching As were all of Spurgeon's messages to his people, each of these lectures is Scripture-saturated and Christ-honoring. They move swiftly and are fascinating in their content and sage counsel.
