Synopsis

I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of the God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16 // With this verse, John MacArthur begins to remind us of C.H. Spurgeon’s warning in 1800’s England. “Everywhere there is apathy. Nobody cares whether that which is preached is true or false. A sermon is a sermon whatever the subject; only, the shorter it is the better.” Charles Haddon Spurgeon // Until all that changes, until we return to our calling to go into all the world and preach the Gospel without shame, the Church is in danger of losing its impact on society. And that would be our generation’s greatest loss.

A great book. All Christians should be forced to read this - even though many of them would not like its contents. The truth hurts, sorry. The numerous quotes by C.H. Spurgeon were a delightful blessing and thrust of the sword. The plight of Christian truth has not changed in hundreds of years. This......more

Didn't find the infomation in this book especially surprising or new, but it is definitely a good summary of what has happened in recent decades to the church and some great suggestions of solutions. I would have liked to have read more about how I, a non-pastor, can have more impact. The best chapt......more

Goodreads review by George on October 12, 2018

I've had this book on my shelf for years, and can't believe I haven't read it until now. While originally written 25 years ago it is amazing how relevant it is for today. All of MacArthur's warnings have proven true. The preface to the third edition and the Appendix A concerning Spurgeon and the "Do......more

Goodreads review by Becky on February 08, 2019

First sentence: If you're familiar with the life of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, you have probably heard of "the Down-Grade Controversy." Spurgeon spent the final four years of his life at war against the trends of early modernism, which he rightly saw as a threat to biblical Christianity. Ashamed of the......more
