This book started out pretty well, but it became very redundant. It explores Charles Spurgeon's attitude toward depression and other emotional pain issues. The author seemed to have one formula for every different malady. Basically, she would describe Spurgeon's viewpoint through his sermons and other writings, but it seemed that she relied too heavily on quotes. I'm not sure how much of the book was actually her own insight. I get it. Spurgeon was a great man who had heavy emotional pain, but through it, he was able to come out with a balanced view of suffering. However, as I read through his stance on anxiety, depression, loss, etc., I got a bit bored because it was pretty much one chapter being repeated over and over again. Sorry, I couldn't finish it.
