Have you heard of Spurgeon?Preacher, evangelist and stalwart patriarch of the Modern Western Church today. If the cliché ‘behind every great man is a strong woman’, is true, then Susannah Spurgeon remains one of the matriarchs of the same tradition. Spurgeon was the bone companion of her husband. As a pastoral assistant, as Charles’ wife and support through trials, this woman’s biography has been a long time coming.Mary Mohler has gathered information on Susie from sources spanning letters, devotionals and biographies. The result is a thoughtful, sympathetic and endearing epitaph to a sister in Christ, whose voice can no longer be ignored. Mohler allows room for academics,mothers, daughters and wives to dwell on Spurgeon’s joyful eagerness in Christ.

This is an extraordinary account of an extraordinary woman. Too often dismissed as the invalid wife of a great preacher, Susannah Spurgeon was in truth a ‘woman of valour’ (Proverbs 31:10) and a partner in the gospel with her husband. When the great explorer David Livingstone asked Spurgeon how he did the work of two men every day, the reply came: “You have forgotten that there are two of us, and the one you see the least of, often does the most work.”Susannah did suffer years of chronic and debilitating illness, but through it all she looked eagerly for ways to serve the Lord. Her famous book ministry,for example, supplied thousands of needy pastors and students with good literature. This is a delightful, engaging, and inspiring portrayal of Susannah’s life, with the bonus selection of extracts from her various devotional books.Throughout, we are reminded that we can know even more of God’s grace as the burdens grow greater.
