All of Grace
An Earnest Word with Those Who Are Seeking Salvation
“The object of this book is the salvation of the reader,” Spurgeon begins. It does not come to make a demand, he says, but to bring something: the good news that God justifies the ungodly, freely, by grace through faith in Christ, who is both just and the justifier.
Then he takes up what holds seekers back, one short chapter at a time: What is faith? What if I can do nothing? How does repentance come? What if I believe and then fall away? He answers each plainly from Scripture, and the whole book can be read in an evening or two.
- About 3 hours to read (35,000 words)
- Easy, friendly reading
