What Depth of Love
Edited by Geoffrey Chang, What Depth of Love presents 40 devotions on the cross and resurrection by Charles H. Spurgeon. This book gives priority to the gospel, highlighting Christ’s affectionate love through His final words and actions.
I was especially moved, as a worship leader, by Spurgeon’s reflection on Matthew 26:30, where Jesus sang a hymn before going to the Mount of Olives. I saw a Savior who perfectly committed both His lips and His heart to the Father in worship. It reminded me of the deep connection we have with our Savior as we sing, even in the midst of suffering.
The Reality of the Gospel
Spurgeon’s insights and applications are timeless. As he speaks to his congregation, I can almost hear his voice echoing into our present day. He is truly the prince of preachers—one who does not shy away from confronting sin and never ceases to proclaim the Savior.
The good news is on every page of this book. These 40 devotions drew me closer to the person of Christ, helped me feel the reality of the gospel, and opened my eyes to the victory of the resurrection.
