SPURGEON'S SORROWS: Realistic Hope for Those Who Suffer from Depression
ZACK ESWINE

THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF A BOOK THAT HAS TOUCHED MANY THOUSANDS WITH THE HOPE OF THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL THAT REACHES THE BROKEN AND WOUNDED SHEEP OF CHRIST!



This precious book offers the following:

*A reflection on Spurgeon's struggles with the darkness of despair

*Help to understand & support those suffering with depression

*How Jesus can bring light to the darkness of the soul

Christians should have the answers, shouldn't they? Depression affects many people both personally and through the ones we love. Here Zack Eswine draws from C.H Spurgeon, 'the Prince of Preachers' experience to encourage us. What Spurgeon found in his darkness can serve as a light in our own darkness. Zack Eswine brings you here, not a self-help guide, rather 'a handwritten note of one who wishes you well.'



"I am the subject of depressions of spirit so fearful that I hope none of you ever get to such extremes of wretchedness as I go to." (CHS)

"We very speedily care for bodily diseases; they are too painful to let us slumber in silence: and they soon urge us to seek a physician or a surgeon for our healing. Oh, if we were as much alive to the more serious wounds of our inner man." (CHS)

"Personally I know that there is nothing on earth that the human frame can suffer to be compared with despondency and prostration of mind." (CHS)



TABLE OF CONTENTS

PART ONE: Trying to Understand Depression

1. The Road to Sorrow: "The road to sorrow has been well trodden, it is the regular sheep track to heaven, and all the flock of God have had to pass along it." (CHS)

2. Depression and our Circumstances: "The mind can descend far lower than the body, for in it there are bottomless pits." (CHS)

3. The Disease of Melancholy: "I wouldn't blame all those who are much given to fear, for in some it is rather their disease than their sin, and more their misfortune than their fault." (CHS)

4. Spiritual Depression: "Spiritual sorrows are the worst of mental miseries." (CHS)



PART TWO: Learning How to Help Those Who Suffer from Depression

5. Diagnosis Doesn’t Cure: "Especially judge not the sons and daughters of sorrow. Allow no ungenerous suspicions of the afflicted, the poor, and the despondent." (CHS)

6. A Language for our Sorrows: "He who now feebly expounds these words (of Ps. 88) knows within himself more than he would care or dare to tell of the abysses of inward anguish." (CHS)

7. Helps that Harm: "Ah, says one, I used to think of such and such person that he must be a fool to be always in so gloomy a state of mind; but now I cannot help sinking into the same desponding frames, and oh! I would to God that I had been more kind to him!" (CHS)

8. Jesus and Depression: "It is an unspeakable consolation that our Lord Jesus knows this experience." (Richard Winter, 'The Roots of Sorrow')



PART THREE: Learning Helps to Daily Cope with Depression

9. Promises and Prayers: "An ointment for every wound, a cordial for every faintness, a remedy for every disease. Blessed is he who is well skilled in heavenly pharmacy and knows how to lay hold on the healing virtues of the promises of God." (CHS)

10. Natural Helps: "We need patience under pain and hope under depression of spirit...Our God...will either make the burden lighter or the back stronger; He will diminish the need or increase the supply." (CHS)

11. Suicide and Choosing Life: "I wonder ever day that there are not more suicides, considering the troubles of this life." (CHS)

12. The Benefits of Sorrow: "To be cast down is often the best thing that could happen to us." (CHS)



ENDORSEMENTS

"There are few men I trust more to write a book on depression than Zack Eswine. His tears have freed me to embrace my tears, and his story of heartache has taken me further into my own. So Zack hasn't merely written a book chronicling Spurgeon's often debilitating struggles with melancholy and depression; he has given us a grace-full en ramp to understand OUR sorrows, and an incredibly practical guide for caring for heart-pained friends God places in our lives. I cannot wait to buy many copies of this book to give to strugglers and caregivers alike." - Scotty Ward Smith, Founding Pastor, Christ Community Church, Franklin TN

"You can almost taste Spurgeon's tears in this book. Depression is a barely understood, silent assassin in the church. If you, like me, have succumbed to this debilitating disease, then Zack Eswine's gentle, poetic, unmasking of Spurgeon's inner turmoil may become a soothing balm to your soul. It may not heal you, but a healthy empathy emerges when you read about the struggles of a man who has walked down the same dark alleys you stumble along, and somehow found God in the valley of despair. If you don't struggle with depression yourself, it will help you love those who do!" -Jeremy McQuoid, Teaching Pastor, Deeside Christian Fellowship, Aberdeen, Scotland

"...Spurgeon from early years to final days found dark distress ever hovering on the edges of his mind and sometimes launching an all out assault on his very being. How he managed all this, by the grace of God, both for himself and for others, drives both the gripping content and the riveting literary style of Zack Eswine in 'Spurgeon's Sorrows.' Showing both comprehensive and deep knowledge of the sermonic literature Spurgeon produced on this subject, this book if for those in such dark times, those that would seek to understand and help them, and those who have suffered life-changing loss through the inability of someone to escape the clutches of such deceitful darkness." - Tom Nettles, Senior Professor of Historical Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky

"Most Christian books on depression depress me. This book is a very rare and precious gift of encouragement and help. In it two godly pastor-scholars open up their lives to us and share their hearts. Both have suffered profoundly and both have known seasons of deep despair and darkness. Together they bring us God's word, helping us wrestle with the scary fact that our Heavenly Father loves us dearly and sometimes calls us to lifelong struggles with dark despair. I wish I could give this book to everyone I have ever counselled or ever will counsel. It gives us a life-changing, gospel-saturated perspective on this very prevalent, painful, and confusing problem." -Barbara Duguid, Author, Extravagant Grace

"The river of life often flows through sloughs of despond. Charles Spurgeon knew that well. He knew depression. He knew the God from whom life flows. Ditto Zack Eswine in this unusual, refreshing, sensible book. Too often in our day, depression gets reinterpreted as a 'thing,' is objectified into a merely medical diagnosis, is alienated from our humanness. This book shows us a good way forward... Read it, and take it to heart." - David Powlison, late CCEF Executive Director, Senior Editor, Journal of Biblical Counseling

"Zack Eswine is a pastor with the mind of a scholar and the heart of a poet. His wisdom gleaned from Charles Spurgeon's struggle with depression is theologically profound and pastorally lucid." - Jason Byassee, Senior Pastor, Boone United Methodist Church, Boone, North Carolina

"Zack Eswine, like Spurgeon, a preacher, pastor, and no stranger to suffering... there is much encouragement, comfort and practical help to be found in this rich and poetic treasure." - Richard Winter, Author of When Life Goes Dark: Finding Hope in the Midst of Depression, Director of Counseling at Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri

"Eswine's work demonstrates the value of reading biographies, old books, and sermons. Interacting with godly men and women from church history can be a vital aid to Christian maturity. He handles Spurgeon carefully, yet provocatively at points, and produces a volume that promises to help pastors and laypeople confront the sad terror of the dark night of the soul." -The Gospel Coalition

"The words 'realistic hope' are in the subtitle, and that is exactly what this book offers. The writing style is winsome and the way he frames Spurgeon's quotes almost make it sound as if the great man was writing last week." -The Evangelical Magazine, Published by Evangelical Movement of Wales

CONCISE THEOLOGY: A Concise Introduction to Biblical Doctrine
JAMES I. PACKER

NEXT TO HIS BOOK 'KNOWING GOD' THIS MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK IN ALL THE WRITINGS OF THE LATE J.I. PACKER. IT IS THE PERFECT GIFT TO A NEW BELIEVER, AND A WONDERFUL BOOK FOR THE SEASONED VETERAN OF THE CROSS, WHO NEEDS TO BE REMINDED OF THE RICHES FOUND IN CHRIST.

"Theology is for doxology and devotion—that is, the praise of God and the practice of godliness.” —From the Preface

Theology is important for the Christian life. And though it is marked by many complex terms and doctrines, there is yet what J. I. Packer calls “the permanent essentials of Christianity.” This concise introduction to these essential doctrines distills theological truths so both scholar and layperson alike can grow to treasure the unchanging pillars of the Christian faith.

Each of the ninety-four chapters explores a different doctrine in a way that is easy to understand and rooted in historic Reformed teaching. As you learn more about the foundational teachings of the faith, you will grow in the knowledge of God and will worship him as your Creator, Redeemer, and sovereign Lord.

ENDORSEMENTS

“J. I. Packer’s Concise Theology is the best simple guide to Christian doctrine that I know. Because it is systematic, precise, and saturated with Scripture, I often use this book to introduce young people and new believers to the basics of their faith.” -Philip Graham Ryken, President, Wheaton College

“J. I. Packer has the gift to write theology that is simple without being superficial. Concise Theology puts the food on the bottom shelf where we can reach it, but to our delight, it is not sugar cookies but steak and potatoes for the soul.” -Joel R. Beeke, President and Professor of Systematic Theology and Homiletics, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary; author, Reformed Preaching; coauthor, Reformed Systematic Theology

“Concise Theology is poetry to Christian ears: the best words in the best order about the best news there is—the gospel of grace poured out in Jesus Christ. Packer here sets forth with lucid brevity everything Christians need to know to become biblically literate and to grow in wisdom and understanding. Doctrine and doxology here walk hand in hand. I am delighted to see this new edition, for Packer’s description of the ‘permanent essentials’ of the Christian faith remains as relevant today as when this book was first published.” -Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Research Professor of Systematic Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School; author, Is There a Meaning in This Text?; The Drama of Doctrine; and Biblical Authority after Babel

“J. I. Packer is one of our greatest theologians and he does something remarkable in this classic compendium: he illuminates the deep things of God in lucid language that makes sense. I have had this volume at hand for nearly three decades, and I welcome this new edition.” -Timothy George, Research Professor of Divinity, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University; general editor, Reformation Commentary on Scripture

“Although this book was published decades ago, its introduction to Christian theology remains focused, clear, and especially valuable for its deep immersion in the biblical record. J. I. Packer's ‘concise theology’ is, as he states forthrightly, reformational and evangelical, which means that some readers will be Bereans checking the Scriptures to see ‘if these things are so.’ All, however, should find the book valuable for illumination and understanding but even more for doxology and devotion.” - Mark A. Noll, author, Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind

THE HUMANNESS OF JOHN CALVIN: The Reformer as a Husband, Father, Pastor & Friend
Richard Stauffer, translated by George Shriver

NOW AVAILABLE TO SHIP!

"This little book is one of a kind. Written by a careful historian and Swiss pastor, it draws on Calvin's correspondence and other records of the time to give a strong impression of what the reformer was like as a person, in his family life, in his close friendships, and in his sympathy and generosity as a pastor." - Rev. Sherman Isbell

"I shall never forget the impact of this small work on my own estimation of Calvin: it completely re-oriented my perspective on the French Reformer, and now, thanks to Solid Ground Christian Books, it can do the same for you. Read on, prepare to be challenged and rejoice that God raises up such historians for the blessing of the Church." - Dr. Michael Haykin

"In the early years of my first pastorate I read the excellent biographies of Calvin by T. H. L. Parker, and Emanuel Stickelberger. At the same time I acquired Calvin's letters and the splendid little study which you now hold in your hands. Already convinced of the humanness of Calvin I considered Richard Stauffer's study to be unique in demonstrating this dimension of the great theologian. Beyond its value as an historical polemic, it provides a marvelous example to all who would be faithful pastors and theologians. The best response to detractors is the Christ-like example which Calvin left us." - Rev. Gregory Reynolds

Through the nearly 450 years since his death, John Calvin has been portrayed by his critics - Protestant as well as Catholic - as a cold, ruthless fanatic. This distorted characterization, for the most part, remains today. What was this man really like? An unfeeling, gloomy monster or a saint untouched by the common problems which beset lesser men?

The author examines Calvin's personal correspondence and reveals him as a man capable of human mistakes and weaknesses, and yet, a deeply dedicated, sensitive individual undeserving of the years of vilification. This book, available here in English, for the first time in over 35 years, considers John Calvin from a personal standpoint. The excellent preface by Calvin-scholar John T. McNeill, carefully noted resources, brevity, readability, and human interest make this a biography for scholars and laymen alike.

"On the occasion of the appearance of this English edition (in 1971), I would like to share a hope and a memory. The hope: that the portrait of Calvin as husband and father, friend and pastor, which I have tried to paint on these pages, might show more than one reader the true stature of the Genevan Reformer, who is also one of the spiritual fathers of the founders of the United States. The memory: when I was a student in New York and assisted in worship in the small French Church of the Holy Spirit, I never failed to be moved upon reading on the walls of the sanctuary the names of the Huguenot families which had found refuge in the New World. At that time I could not help thinking (and it is still my belief to this day) that these witnesses of the faith, uncompromising in their convictions, were fully the descendants of this John Calvin, who, though human in his obedience, yet offered his 'heart as a burnt sacrifice to the Lord.' It is in thinking of these refugees of other years that I dedicate this essay, which attempts to exonerate the name of Calvin, to contemporary Americans who are mindful of their origins." - the Author
