Descripción editorial
Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your slave. – Matthew 20:27
You cannot have Christ if you will not serve Him. If you take Christ, you must take Him in all His qualities. You must not simply take Him as a Friend, but you must also take Him as your Master. If you are to become His disciple, you must also become His servant. God-forbid that anyone fights against that truth. It is certainly one of our greatest delights on earth to serve our Lord, and this is to be our joyful vocation even in heaven itself: His servants shall serve Him: and they shall see His face (Revelation 22:3-4).
Charles H. Spurgeon originally wrote this book for members of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor. Spurgeon's heartfelt writing style makes this book one that today still encourages believers to move into Christian action. He emphasizes simply moving forward, using the talents and resources you already have at your disposal, for the Lord's service and your own eternal reward. The concepts presented are easy to understand and straight-forward, if only you are ready to lay down your life to follow Christ.

Lost Teachings
Charles Spurgeon, one of the greatest expositors in history, has written a timeless piece of encouragement for all believers. Preaching of the Gospel has taken a turn for the worse, and a watered down message is being delivered to the masses. Christianity is weak today, and it is up to the true students of the Gospel to preach the word, in spirit and truth. I love this book.
Powerful and encouraging.
This book has taken me quite a while to read. I have so many highlights that I have shared with others to encourage them. I have found this to be a powerful encouragement in my walk with Christ.
Truly Inspiring in the Holy Spirit
I’m convinced that this book will be an eye opener for many. I’ve had blinders on for so long as a Christian and I thank God Almighty for gifting Spurgeon with writing this book. May it bless you as it has blessed me.
