Book Review: All of Grace
Charles H. Spurgeon wrote this wonderful work in the late 19th century. The secondary title of the book says it all: “An Earnest Word with Those Who Are Seeking Salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ.” This is the first book ever published by Moody Press and it sold more copies than any book ever published by Moody.
Spurgeon provides the truths of salvation simply and sincerely, for open seekers and enthusiastic believers alike. He presents a complete teaching on the focus of God’s grace. Spurgeon demonstrates how salvation is from grace, and he focuses this notion on heavy references to the Bible. Spurgeon describes the plan of salvation in this book in a desire that many readers will turn to Christ. In fact, the first words in the book are these, “He who spoke and wrote this message will be greatly disappointed if it does not lead many to the Lord Jesus.”
Do not be mistaken, this is a book for all. It is not just an evangelical tool for the unsaved. It is a word of inspiration to the floundering, provisions for the starving, support for the feeble, and console for the sorrowful. This is a book is a wonderful tool for the strong in faith. There can be no better support for the soul than the unpolluted gospel of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Spurgeon paints one of the most precise, God honoring pictures of the truth of God's grace for man. This is a book about the gospel written for nonbeliever and believer alike.
