Spurgeon’s Theology for Multiplying Disciples and Churches: The Story of How Spurgeon and the Metropolitan Tabernacle Followed Christ
Ebook
Spurgeon is known for his sermons, but it is a wonderful study to learn from him the theology and practice which drove him and the Metropolitan Tabernacle to plant two hundred churches in and around London. How did they accomplish this? This book presents the story and principles of Spurgeon and his church which God taught and guided them to implement, and how pastors and churches today can apply them. Each of us need a solid model to take heart from and follow. Spurgeon and the Metropolitan Tabernacle meets that need. There is great wisdom and practical encouragement to be received from their example for every Christian, church leader, and pastor to enjoy for Christ's work. This work was written to help make this experience possible and probable under God's good blessings. Read, pray, reflect, grow, and go for the Savior and souls!
“Books abound on Spurgeon, so some may wonder if anything new
may be said. Rod Earls has provided the church with an important
study on the man’s beliefs and leadership skills that resulted in
disciples made, leaders developed, and churches planted. At a time
when evangelicals are asking questions about the multiplication of
disciples, leaders, and churches, this book arrives at a timely
moment!”
—J. D. Payne, Samford University
“Rod Earls is opening up a whole different perspective on
Spurgeon and his impact in ways that most pastors don’t have a clue
about. Spurgeon, the church planting pastor! He may have been the
prince of preachers, but he was also an apostle for global church
planting. Read this and learn. Incredibly relevant for
today.”
—Bob Roberts, founder, Glocal.net
“This book is a culmination of years of research and
experience that will inform students of Spurgeon’s life and
ministry as well as guide young Christians as they begin their
journey and seek to leave a legacy of faithful service.”
—Rodney A. Harrison, president, Baptist Homes & Healthcare
Ministries
“‘Have you won souls for Jesus?’ Since the church began, it remains
the crucial question—one we must answer in the affirmative. From
brand new believer to lifelong Christian, the life and ministry of
C. H. Spurgeon inspires and challenges us to personally win people
to Christ—providing a template to teach, train, and turn loose
others to do the same.”
—Jesse Haney, pastor of Oasis of Hope Church
“Rod Earls has researched and written about the story of Spurgeon
what we were privileged to see take place in Guatemala. God led us
to plant the gospel in the hearts of the Kekchi Indian people,
discipling them to be missionaries. A dramatic movement of
multiplication of disciples and churches occurred. In like manner,
these principles and applications from Spurgeon are practical and
effective because they come from the Savior and Scripture. Read and
be inspired!”
—Ted Lindwall, president, Church on the March
