Beloved nineteenth-century pastor Charles Spurgeon wrestled with dark depression, debilitating illness, personal sorrow, and ministerial trials. Suffering was not just a component of his life-it was the dark cloud that hung over all his labors and accomplishments. Yet Spurgeon leaned into the caring hands of his unchanging, compassionate Savior who experienced suffering himself.
Your Only Comfort draws from Spurgeon's best teachings on suffering to bring that comfort to a new generation. Suffering is inevitable in a fallen world, but it is in the middle of distress that the truth of our hope shines brightest. We can rest in the steadfast goodness of Christ, cling to God's promises to bring good from our trials, and rejoice in the eternal glory that awaits believers.
