Synopsis

Mr. Spurgeon was emphatically the friend of the young. During the course of his successful and God-honored ministry, his supreme aim was to lead children and youth to Christ and to encourage and stimulate them in their aspirations after true nobility. Now that his voice is hushed, his powerful pen still speaks. In this book, with persuasive earnestness and characteristic force, he shows those who are standing upon the threshold of life how to make A Good Start.
It is impossible to overestimate the importance of the start we make in the journey of life since it necessarily affects and largely determines all that follows. No life can be truly success¬ful unless lived along the lines of Christian principles. The first step must be surrendering the heart to Christ, and all of life’s journey must be lived in conscious fellowship with Him. In this way, we form true perceptions of life and duty, and are enabled to give practical embodiment to God’s idea concerning us. It is during this character-forming time of life that wise counsel, faithful warning, and sympathetic admonition are especially valuable.

About Charles H. Spurgeon

Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a British Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the "Prince of Preachers." He preached his first sermon, from 1 Peter 2:7, in 1851 at 16 and became pastor of the Church in Waterbeach in 1852. He published more than 1,900 different sermons and preached to around 10,000,000 people during his lifetime. In addition, Spurgeon was a prolific author of many types of works including an autobiography, a commentary, books on prayer, a devotional, a magazine, poetry, hymnist and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were later translated into many languages. Arguably, no other author, Christian or otherwise, has more material in print than C.H. Spurgeon.


Reviews

Goodreads review by Jessica

Perhaps one of the less heard-of Spurgeon gems that speaks to the soul. A book that Spurgeon addresses to young men and women to seek after his God. He tells his young readers to follow in the footsteps of their godly parents, and to love the Lord as their own. To walk, contrary to what is expected......more

Goodreads review by Philip

Very good. Well put together thoughts for younger people as they consider the stage of life they're in in light of Christianity. A little too pietistic at times, or at the very least, did give some advice about the relationship between religion and common life that I think needed further unpacking.......more
