Allen\u2019s latest book, an updated edition of Charles Haddon Spurgeon\u2019s Lectures to My Students, published by B&amp;H Publishers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This deluxe edition of Lectures to My Students includes an introduction from Allen, lightly edited material for readability, and updated design aspects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Commenting on the release, Allen said, \u201cI\u2019m so grateful to partner with B&amp;H Publishers and release this new, impressive, updated edition of Lectures to My Students. It\u2019s a timeless classic that is timely indeed when we look at the challenges facing this generation of gospel ministers. I am thrilled by this new release and hope you\u2019ll secure your copy and be edified by the ministry of Charles Spurgeon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Charles Spurgeon founded The Pastors\u2019 College in London in 1856 when he was twenty-two years of age. He supervised and graduated over 900 men from The Pastors\u2019 College, lecturing once a week. Lectures to My Students is a collection of those lectures given by Spurgeon to students at the college.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Through his teaching at The Pastors\u2019 College, his church, and his ministry more broadly, Spurgeon remains a model for faithful gospel ministry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Allen spoke to Spurgeon\u2019s example as well, stating, \u201cIn the pantheon of great preachers in church history, Charles Haddon Spurgeon certainly ranks within it. When you narrow the focus to the greatest speakers of the English-speaking world, Charles Haddon Spurgeon might be at the very top.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">He went on to say, \u201cWhat is more though, when you consider the expanse of his ministry beyond the Metropolitan Tabernacle to all the different aspects of it, you find at the very heart of it a commitment to the gospel, to the Word of God, to the local church, and to training ministers for the local church.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As home to the Spurgeon Library, which houses nearly 6,000 volumes from Charles Spurgeon\u2019s personal library and serves as the premier center for Spurgeon scholarship, Midwestern Seminary shares Spurgeon\u2019s conviction of training ministry leaders for the Church.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In his introduction, Allen explains his own call to ministry and how Spurgeon\u2019s Lectures to My Students was a formative influence for him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">He said, \u201cThough Lectures to My Students proved indispensable for me at that critical juncture in my life, it\u2019s remained a go-to guide for me, and I find myself returning to it again and again. It\u2019s been the same for generations of ministers since its first publishing, and I believe it will prove the same for you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIn this volume, you\u2019ll find a treasure trove of ministry insight and wisdom. Spurgeon has mined the depths of Scripture, plundered the lessons of church history, and brought to bear his own vast ministry experience to make this one volume essential reading for every gospel minister. It\u2019s full of biblical truth, theological reflection, and practical instruction. To not read it is to go into spiritual battle, as a minister, insufficiently armed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In Spurgeon\u2019s own introduction to the book, he writes of the weight of responsibility within gospel ministry. The ministry requires a leader\u2019s full attention and commitment, he says, because it deals with matters of life and death. Within the book itself, Spurgeon writes on topics such as The Call to Ministry, On The Voice, The Holy Spirit in Connection With Our Ministry, Earnestness, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The updated edition of Charles Spurgeon\u2019s Lectures to My Students is now available for purchase.
