About this book

Show kids how wonderful it is to serve God, even when it's hard. The true story of Susannah Spurgeon, the wife of British pastor Charles Spurgeon, inspires children to persevere.

Susannah was married to a very gifted and busy preacher, who could not have done all he did without her support. Susie experienced poor health for much of her life, but she did not let that stop her from serving. One key way that she served the wider church was by creating the Book Fund, which gave free copies of Charles' books to poor pastors who could not afford to buy them.

This beautifully illustrated children's biography of Susannah Spurgeon ...

Endorsements

In every age and of every age, followers of Christ are spiritually enriched by studying the lives of great Christians of church history. As a father of five, I personally know the benefits of planting those seeds as early as possible. That’s why I’m delighted to see Mary Mohler produce this children’s book, Susannah Spurgeon: The Pastor’s Wife Who Didn’t Let Sickness Stop Her. Susannah Spurgeon’s story is a great one to tell, and Mary Mohler is a great author to tell it. I heartily recommend this book to parents and pastors, as well as churches and children’s’ ministries.

I love this book for many reasons. I love kids getting to know not only about Charles Spurgeon, but that God gave him a wife that helped him have such a fruitful ministry. That is such a great role model for our girls as future wives and mothers. But also, as a pastor’s wife, who has daily health struggles like Susannah Spurgeon, I love that this book highlights how God does great things even in those who struggle with much weakness. It's personally been how God has testified to His greatness in my life. And I love for kids to see that God does not just use the powerful and the very able, but he delights to be glorified in the very weak who he gives grace to do the many good works he even has prepared them. There is no one who God saves that he does not use. And sometimes in ways far more than they could ever imagine.

Susannah Spurgeon is a wonderful example for young girls to aspire to. In her book, Mary captures Susannah's spirit of love, devotion, and determination to use her life for good, even when life is hard.

(Review written for 'Susannah Spurgeon (ebook)')

I am French but I am very interested in testimonies of people loving God . This book shows us a very beautiful way of serving Him even in weakness. There is no too little thing for those who want to please Him.
A good example of love for God and for her husband and family.
Thank you

5.00 stars The spotlight is on the wife of the Prince of Preachers

  Reviewer Program Member

This is a fresh installment of a great series. Now the spotlight is on the wife of the Prince of Preachers, Charles Spurgeon, Susannah or Suzie. Charles Spurgeon may be a towering figure in Christianity but he is not alone in his mission to bring people to Christ. Overshadowed, Susannah was there and that’s what this book is all about.

We all know that this is geared for kids but how this book was written it feels like for adults. ...

This is another wonderful addition to the “Do Great Things for God” series. We enjoy these short picture books as a way to learn about missionaries.

This series always has beautiful illustrations and this one is no exception. They take a story and make it accessible for children with an emphasis on how God works in their lives. Each book includes a real life photo and timeline of the missionary which is ever so helpful. This book also includes questions ...
