Product Description

Behind the great man was a great wife—and between the man and wife was a profound marriage.

While many Christians recognize the name of Charles H. Spurgeon, the beloved preacher and writer, few are familiar with the life and legacy of his wife, Susie. Yet Susannah Spurgeon was an accomplished and devout woman of God who, in addition to supporting her husband, had a tremendous ministry of her own. Susie brings this vibrant woman's story to modern readers. Spurgeon scholar Ray Rhodes Jr. examines Susannah's life, showing that she was not only the wife of London's most famous preacher, but also a woman who gave all she had in grateful service to the Lord. Then Yours, Till Heaven invites you into the untold love story of Charles and Susie Spurgeon to discover how the bond between this renowned couple helped fuel their lifelong service to the Lord. With historical precision and narrative craft, Rhodes Jr. captures the inner life of this Victorian romance that not only blessed the Spurgeons in their day, but can continue to empower and encourage couples today.

Susie and Yours, Till Heaven are two inspiring and encouraging accounts of a remarkable woman of God. These books will delight Spurgeon devotees and fans of Christian biographies alike.
