Around the Wicket Gate
מידע על ספר האודיו הזה
What separates almost believing from truly believing? In this short, warm, and searching work, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the “Prince of Preachers,” speaks to the people he called seekers. They know the gospel, admire the faith, and may even sit in church every week, yet they have never entered by the narrow gate themselves. Spurgeon borrows his image from John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress and takes up, one by one, the fears, doubts, delays, and excuses that keep people lingering outside. He answers each one with clear explanation, vivid everyday illustrations, and urgent pastoral love. Faith, he insists, is not complicated: it is simply trusting in the person of Jesus Christ, and doing so now. First published in 1890 and written to be passed from hand to hand, Around the Wicket Gate is still one of the most accessible invitations to faith ever written. It is equally valuable for the hesitant seeker and for the believer who wants to help a friend take that step.

Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a British Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the "Prince of Preachers." He preached his first sermon, from 1 Peter 2:7, in 1851 at 16 and became pastor of the Church in Waterbeach in 1852. He published more than 1,900 different sermons and preached to around 10,000,000 people during his lifetime. In addition, Spurgeon was a prolific author of many types of works including an autobiography, a commentary, books on prayer, a devotional, a magazine, poetry, hymnist and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were later translated into many languages. Arguably, no other author, Christian or otherwise, has more material in print than C.H. Spurgeon.
