This book seeks to throw light on the reasons which have given rise to the superficial image of Spurgeon as a genial Victorian pulpiteer, a kind of grandfather of modern evangelicalism.

Kiranya buku ini menjadi pilar yang menopang orang percaya untuk kembali kepada prinsip-prinsip Alkitab.
The story of John Sung is simply the story of Holy Spirit Revival, not of the spurious ecumenical sort currently infecting churches around the world. John Sung unequivocally rebuked the tongue speakers, the liberals, modernists, apostates and ecumenist of this day. Were he alive today, he would not spare these false prophets the reproof of God's Word.
