Charles Spurgeon's Eccentric Preachers will be particularly useful to preachers, teachers, and soul-winners, who should keep this book close at hand. On days when confidence is low and spirits are drained, they will find it a rich source of personal encouragement and spiritual refreshment.
Besides examining what it means to be eccentric and whether we should be concerned with such a label, Spurgeon also gives us an overview of the lives and ministries of eleven unforgettable preachers of the Gospel. They, with their slight quirks, were noteworthy but also powerful in their service to Christ. These eleven men, who loved and served God with all their heart, will inspire, challenge, and even amuse you.
You will learn how you can, within reason, move forward boldly in the work of the Lord, freely and unabashedly using the gifts and talents He has bestowed upon you, for His glory. Preach biblically, lovingly, and truthfully, but also boldly, unashamedly, and with all your heart. You will enjoy this book, laugh occasionally, and perhaps even shed a few tears as you realize you are not alone. No matter what others may say about you, the Lord will work through you mightily as you take up the mantle and work earnestly for Him.
