I fly through fiction, but I like to savor non fiction. I spent far more time on this book than most. What I loved most is how they chose to labor together for Christ…each giving everything of themselves.
I enjoyed seeing the quotes from one spouse to another all combined into one book. If you are a voracious reader of Spurgeon then some of this may not be new. However, having two sides of a love story told in their own words is precious. A combination of letters, books, and friends quotes combine to give a good example of what a Godly marriage should be. Neither Charles nor Susie were perfect, and they both try to name and overcome their weaknesses together. They both suffered through health issues, but they encouraged each other as they walked this journey with the Lord. Their time apart was difficult, yet it strengthened them both. I really enjoyed the realistic approach of this book.
I would really recommend this book as a wedding gift, anniversary gift, or a gift for someone who enjoys Spurgeon.
I received this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
