Big personal update: I am writing a book! It is on Charles Spurgeon (surprise, surprise) and his understanding of the role of benevolence, mercy ministry, and social concern in the mission and ministry of the church. This is the first book of it's kind. 1/
Though biographies of Spurgeon abound, the most we have on Spurgeon's view of mercy ministry is a chapter here and there. My primary audience is pastors and thoughtful/interested church members, and secondarily historians and university/seminary students. 2/
Though the book will include plenty of careful historical research and footnotes, I hope it will be broadly accessible and edifying to the average Christian. 3/
I'm working with a publisher (can't name them yet) and am about 2/3 of the way through the first draft of the manuscript (should be about 200-220 pages). I hope to complete the first draft by October, 2021. I plan to post updates along the way. 4/
I'd appreciate your prayers that I'd be fruitful in writing and that the finished product would bless and edify those who read it. I think Spurgeon has lots of lessons to teach us in this area! 5/5
