About 2,200 Quotations from the Writings of Charles H. Spurgeon: Arranged Topically or Textually and Indexed by Subject, Scripture, and People

Tom Carter began reading Spurgeon in his late teens, picking out striking statements from the nineteenth-century British pastor’s sermons and quoting them in his Bible teaching. After spending ten years reading all of Spurgeon’s 3,561 sermons, Tom compiled this book of 2,200 quotations. The quotations are alphabetically arranged by subject, with a section on specific Scripture texts, from Genesis to Revelation. Carter has included a subject index and a Scripture index, too.

Dr. Carter earned a B.A. from the University of Idaho, an M.Div. from Fuller Theological Seminary, and a D.Min. from Westminster Theological Seminary. He is the senior pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dinuba, CA. Carter is the author of 13 Crucial Questions Jesus Wants to Ask You and They Knew How to Pray.
