This collection of C. H. Spurgeon’s travel letters offer a rare
insight into a different side of the famed preacher. Of the many
telling phrases C. H. Spurgeon gave the world, one speaks to the
way he, and his contemporaries, greatly valued letters, or what he
called “gifts of the pen.” He lived in a golden
age of letter–writing, and helped to make it so.
The best letters, he knew, are written with caring reflection, love
of the written word, wit, and a vivid sense of place. His travel
letters model these gifts. His love of nature,
history, culture, and art live—and breathe—in these
pages. Rest and recreation, on holiday, when he
could follow these interests, were meaningful, renewing gifts from
God. He cherished them, and needed them. They
lend a special, one–of–a–kind voice to this book.
With a painter’s gifts, set amid the countryside of England, or
places of Europe, Spurgeon’s Travel Letters are eloquent, and
many times moving. His “gifts of the pen” shine in them.
At long last, they have a place well–deserved, a place
all their own. Now, we ourselves may travel with
Spurgeon—discovering the world that he knew. And
we may bless God for the privilege given in these letters.
