I’m going to review something new, different and exciting!
Many of you might know I love Charles Spurgeon. Though I haven’t read him recently I have read and reviewed and quoted different words from the famous Victorian Era preacher on our blog.
In this post I want to review and recommend a Framed Art Print of the famous Prince of Preachers: Charles Spurgeon.
Purchase:

We have this painting at our church. It’s our only artwork that we currently have of a preacher. It is framed in our Sanctuary room. I appreciate having this in our church since it is a visible reminder for me from time to time of the godly example of a Pastor and an extraordinary preacher to emulate in the person of Charles Spurgeon. I recommend buying the largest size as it captures the intensity of this painting. There’s a realism to the artwork. It is striking really, and much credit goes to the artist for how he did a superb job with the black-and-white colors and giving it a real life feel. I really love the details of Mr. Spurgeon in this painting. There is a good use of the colors black and white in which you see his graying hair while also the use of the two colors made his suit handsome in a formal way that’s portray Spurgeon as an honorable pastor instead of say a businessman, politician, etc. I thought the artist did a really good job drawing Spurgeon’s face, which is one of the distinguishing look about Spurgeon. Just seeing the picture makes me want to read more of Spurgeon’s work! I’ve shown this to another Pastor and he thought it was really well done as well. If you love Spurgeon you would find this work delightful to have. Its also a great gift idea for someone you know in your life who has found Spurgeon’s writing to be a blessing such as a Pastor, a theologian, Bible study teacher, or simply a fan of Spurgeon.
Brother, thanks for posting this! That is an excellent rendering of Spurgeon. Makes me want to read something by or about Spurgeon. What an example Spurgeon is for pastors and non-pastors! I hope many at your church will be motivated to find out more about him. The thing I especially love about Spurgeon is he unflinchingly upheld the genuine Gospel of grace at a time when many in England were bending the knee to the ecumenism of the Oxford Movement/Puseyism. Lately, I’ve been considering getting another biographical book about Lloyd-Jones who was in some respects the “successor” to Spurgeon.
I think you would enjoy reading Spurgeon! I have yet to read MLJ though I have read biographies about him. I just noticed I have never written a review of it on the blog! What’s the book you read before about MLJ?
The only book I’ve read connected to Spurgeon was a compilation of some of his writings/sermons regarding Catholicism. I read Lloyd-Jones “Studies on the Sermon on the Mount” which was excellent, but slow reading. I also read a short biography, “Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones” (Bitesize Biographies Book 5) and Iain Murray’s excellent “Evangelicalism Divided: A Record of Crucial Change in the Years 1950 to 2000,” which was mainly about MLJ’s fight against the growing ecumenism among UK evangelicals. I wish they had Murray’s 500 page biography of MLJ at the library but no go. Hard to believe but our library system has only two books about Spurgeon, one a biography published in 1884 and the other a collection of some of his sermons.
Love Spurgeon. What a mighty man of God. What a blessing his messages are to us. Thanks for honoring him.
Blessings.
Your church is fortunate to have the painting! Not many spiritual giants are worthy to raise up and esteem like beloved Spurgeon!
His inspiration lives on…thank you brother.
Amen! Are there any favorite books or sermons or quotes from Spurgeon you enjoyed? Feel free to recommend things as I have barely scratched the surface with the writings of this man of God!
Oh yes! My favorite book would be: “Spiritual Warfare in a Believer’s Life”, a book to read and re-read. Also, fav online series, Farm Sermons by Charles Spurgeon, found on The Spurgeon Archive.
Favorite Quote:
“By Perseverance the Snail Reached the Ark”. 🐌
😀
Oh, I just picked up another favorite, might I share? Charles Spurgeon’s “Sermons on the Last Days” – excellent collection of sermons, so apropos for today!

Artwork looks great! Instantly I recognize it was Spurgeon. I love reading his devotionals. Faith’s Checkbook is a must.
I agree to all above.
Thank you; may the Lord bless you for reading this. Hope you are well-stocked and provided, praise God for your grand kids!
I am and Praise God for you.
I love Spurgeon as well. What biography would you suggest?
I highly recommend Ian Murray’s The Forgotten Spurgeon; I am sure you know Ian Murray being in the OPC you guys are the Navy Seals in the Reformed community; have you read the book? https://veritasdomain.wordpress.com/2012/04/07/book-review-the-forgotten-spurgeon-by-iain-murray/
I haven’t read it as of yet. Hopefully soon.
A painting? I would have thought it was a photograph!
Isn’t it well done? I think you as an artist would appreciate it much more in an insightful way than I would be able to! I imagine you are doing your comics again?
Yeah, getting caught up. Hopefully, I’ll soon start writing again, too.
Love Spurgeon! Morning and Evening has been a blessings for years along with Faith’s Checkbook.
Jim, I appreciate you sharing details about Charles Spurgeon’s portrait. I enjoy how his writings fit perfectly in today’s world. One can see why he is sometimes referred to as the Prince of Preachers.
Thanks for your comments; let me know if you have any favorite books or more likely any favorite quotes from Spurgeon, I might have missed it on your blog! Feel free to drop a link or two!
I will look back to see how many Spurgeon posts I have.
Very nice! What a well done painting, thanks for sharing this SlimJim ☺️
I thought it was a photo at first.
What a blessing

This is right up my alley as you well know, Pastor Jim. More than any other writings besides the scriptures, of course, Spurgeon’s sermons have had a great impact on me. I have shared many posts of his devotions and my blog highlights one of my favorite sermons of his. I have found no one as gifted as he was in using the English language to communicate the Word of God. I think it’s cool that his picture is the one you’ve chosen. He continues to help many to understand the scriptures. This is a very good rendering of him. Many of his pictures seem to show the weight of his great responsibilities on his face and posture. This is probably the best picture of him that I’m aware of.
Thank you for sharing!
Man we have so much things in common, first with the love for the book of Nahum and second with Spurgeon! I really enjoyed this painting and it hangs at our church
We definitely have those two things in common and our theology seems very similar as well. It is a very good painting, Pastor Jim. I’m glad your church knows of Spurgeon and I hope they get a chance to be familiar with him.
