Encouragement, Books, and Suffering: The Ministry of Susannah Spurgeon
Susannah Spurgeon was a remarkable woman. A true servant of the Lord and helper to her husband - the Prince of Preachers. Susannah believed strongly in what God had called Charles Spurgeon to do. She wanted his preaching to be preserved and used for generations to come.
She accomplished this work through her famous Book Fund. Richard Day records that she "saved every five-shilling piece got." Upon the publishing of Lectures to My Students, Susannah had saved enough to purchase 100 copies of it and send them to various ministers at no charge - this was the start of the Book Fund. Ultimately, due to Mrs. Spurgeon's work, the Book Fund mailed over 250,000 volumes to thousands of ministers around the world.
