This is an excellent history of several ministers of the latter rain outpouring of the Holy Spirit shared by world renowned evangelist Dr. Lester Sumrall, who knew each of these ministers personally. For those interested in the history of the 'Pentacostal' movement, another excellent resource which I'm reading currently , though very difficult to get ahold of is 'With Signs Following' by the late Stanley Frodsham - who happens to be one of the ministers whose biography is given in this book.

Pioneers of Faith
I expected this book to be more of a brief history of these men and women of God, instead it was more about the encounters that the author had with these people. This book did emphasize the importance of following the Spirit of God and that was inspirational. Sep 27, Abraham rated it it was amazing. Feb 09, Kenneth rated it it was amazing.

We see in scripture where it is wise to learn from other Godly people. In fact, 1st Corinthians Nonetheless, we must be very cautious and discerning of who we follow. It can be said, though, that Charles Haddon Spurgeon was a dedicated Christian, and he finished well. Spurgeon was born in a small cottage in England on June 19, His mother, Eliza Jarvis Spurgeon, had seventeen children, nine of whom died in infancy.
When Charles Spurgeon was only ten years of age, a visiting missionary said that he would, one day, preach to thousands which he later did. He came from a long line of Christians, some of whom were preachers.
Charles Spurgeon became a Christian at the tender age of fifteen. The misery of sin made him detest it and never turn back after he surrendered to Christ. The text that gripped him at the time of his conversion was Isaiah The Bible became most precious to Spurgeon. He loved books ever since he was a child. In his life, he read it over times. His love of books carried on throughout his life.

He was an avid reader and writer. He typically read six books per week. His personal library consisted of thousands of volumes. Needless to say, the book that he cherished the most was the Bible. He studied it for many years. Before the age of twenty, Spurgeon had already preached over times.
At the age of twenty-one, he married Susannah Thompson on January 8, Later that year, his wife gave birth to twin boys, Charles and Thomas. He was one of the most well-known preachers of that time. However, this joyous year would not end without tragedy. Only about a month after his twin sons were born, he was preaching at the Surrey Gardens Music Hall where a massive crowd had gathered to hear him preach.

The galleries are giving way! Of course, there was no fire — but the crowd did not know that. As the people were scurrying to get out of this large building, it created a stampede and several people were trampled underfoot. When Spurgeon found out that seven people perished in this ordeal, he collapsed under the stress of it. An additional 28 people were hospitalized with serious injuries. The newspapers were cruel as they reported of this event, which only deepened the anguish felt by Spurgeon. The emotional devastation took its toll on him throughout his life.

In the year following the tragedy of , Spurgeon began a college for Pastors. Additionally, he also spoke to his largest crowd ever, at the Crystal Palace in London. The crowd consisted of 23, people, and he spoke without the assistance of amplification or a microphone. Before this large assembly was to be held, Spurgeon wanted to test the acoustics of the building.
This worker put down his tools, went home, and came to know Christ — the Lamb of God — for himself. Countless others came to know Christ through the ministry of Charles Spurgeon. He was a great encouragement to his ever-expanding congregation. He never gave an altar call — but instructed those who wanted to seek Christ to meet with him on Monday at his vestry.
There was always someone there on Monday to meet with him; and often, several came to seek the Lord. This approach seemed less rushed and more thorough. He always felt the weight of accountability to God when preaching. As the years progressed, Spurgeon kept working for the Lord and for the greater good of humanity. If the waves roll against you, it only speeds your ship towards the port.
His wife, Susannah, was also in poor health and could rarely come to hear her husband preach. It has been documented that he suffered from depression and moments of crying for no apparent reason known to him. Nonetheless, Spurgeon found some good out of suffering with lifelong depression. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary.
Not only did he suffer emotionally, but his physical maladies often caused him intense pain. During one of his bouts of affliction, he desperately cried out to God for mercy. He recounted the event by saying:. I could not bear to see my child suffer as thou makest me suffer, and if I saw him tormented as I am now, I would do what I could to help him, and put my arms under him to sustain him. Wilt thou hide thy face from me, my Father?
Wilt thou still lay on a heavy hand, and not give me a smile from thy countenance? However, he soon found his very own opposing him. As Jesus said in Matthew Spurgeon had always opposed slavery and spoke out against people owning slaves. This caused him to lose support from many publishers of that time.
