Lectures to my Students (Ebook)

Order this book

"Lectures to My Students" gathers a series of foundational teachings delivered by C. H. Spurgeon to future pastors studying under his guidance at the Pastor’s College, which he founded in London. This book not only reveals the pastoral wisdom of one of the most influential preachers in history, but also demonstrates his deep commitment to the holistic training of gospel ministers.

For many years, every Friday afternoon, Spurgeon addressed his students with practical, biblical, and deeply anointed messages on topics as relevant today as they were then, including:

• The necessity of self-watchfulness in the life of the minister.
• The inestimable value of private prayer as a source of spiritual strength.
• How to face discouragement without falling into despair.
• The importance of the Holy Spirit in preaching and ministry.
• The urgency of taking a stand for truth in a changing world.
• And how to always keep the salvation of souls as the ultimate goal of ministry.

But that’s not all. In this complete edition published by Banner of Truth , a third series of lectures is also included under the original title "The Art of Illustration" , where Spurgeon shares practical advice on how to use anecdotes, stories, and everyday examples to make the proclamation of Scripture clearer and more effective. This section is especially useful for those who desire to connect with their audience without ever compromising fidelity to the sacred text.

Far from being a mere technical or academic manual, "Lectures to My Students" is a devotional work full of pastoral wisdom, humility, and passion for glorifying God through faithful and powerful preaching. It is ideal for both theology students and active pastors who seek to renew their ministerial vision and refocus on what is essential: the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, and the souls of the lost.

Spurgeon was not only a great preacher, but also a passionate teacher committed to preparing new laborers for the Lord’s harvest. "Lectures to My Students" is a legacy that remains profoundly relevant and necessary for spiritual and ministerial formation today.
