Book Description<\/h2>\n

By April 1891, when Spurgeon addressed the annual conference of the Pastors\u2019 College for the last time, he was an experienced and battle-worn soldier.<\/p>\n

Spurgeon considered it the life-work of a pastor to be engaged in a crusade against error and sin. He fully appreciated what it was to \u2018fight the good fight of faith\u2019. In The Greatest Fight in the World<\/em>, this final annual address to his fellow pastors and Pastors\u2019 College students, Spurgeon offers practical advice on how to approach the battle. He does so under three martial metaphors: Our Armoury (the Scriptures); Our Army (the church); and Our Strength (the Holy Spirit).<\/p>\n

The Greatest Fight in the World<\/em> is a book for every pastor. It will stimulate and inspire an approach to the pastoral task which is orderly and intelligent, and which above all recognises and has confidence in the God from whom the strength to engage in battle comes.<\/p>\n
