Why read it?

Over the past 15 years, I’ve walked through layers and layers of trials – including chronic illness in myself and all four of my children, special needs in one of our kids, a degenerative ankle that has led to six ankle surgeries, depression, and several seasons of financial struggle.

Charles Spurgeon writes with profound insight and eloquence, but in a down-to-earth way.
From Sarah's list on The best books on finding hope and comfort in difficult times.
