Library Recommendation of the Week Charles Haddon Spurgeon is a colorfully illustrated biography by Simonetta Carr in her beautiful “Christian Biographies for Young Readers” series. With the skill of a master storyteller, Carr does the impossible; she takes the almost incomprehensible life of Spurgeon and creatively summarizes it for children. In this book, Simonetta Carr informs us how young Charles learned to look to Christ alone for salvation, and how he never tired of pointing others to his \Savior. See how God used this young country boy to preach to thousands, provide training for pastors, start orphanages, and stand against those who denied basic teachings of the Bible.  Colorful illustrations, interesting facts, and a compelling story combine to introduce young readers to this important British preacher who is today considered one of the greatest preachers in the history of Christianity. You can find this book in the non-fiction section of the youth section of the library or ask the librarian.
LIBRARY HOURS: Sundays 9:15am-10:15am, Tuesdays 9-11am (during Bible Study) & Wednesdays 5-7pm.
