Around the Wicket Gate
by C. H. Spurgeon
On This Page
Description
The greatest of all tragedies must be that of the person who dies just outside the gate of life. They are standing, as it were,just outside the wicket gate to the church grounds - seeing the beauty of the building, knowing the people going in - but not stepping over the threshold themselves. Almost saved but altogether lost. This is a book of immeasurable value to those who have some knowledge of the Christian Faith but who are resisting God's call to commit their lives to him. No Christian show more should be without a copy, to either lend or give away to a friend or acquaintance who may be lingering at the gate. Around the Wicket Gate is written in Spurgeon's unique style - sharp, penetrating, and easily readable. One of the most quoted preachers of modern times, his sermons have proved to be a blessing to millions. For someone thinking about Christianity, who has yet to accept Christ as their saviour, reading this book could help them towards the most important step they ever take. show lessTags

I especially recommend this to anyone who wants to be saved yet falls short. It also has some chapters for those who don't want to be saved, and some for those who think they are saved but continue practicing their sins. I'm still not convinced I'm in Christ, but this book kicked me in the right direction several times.
Charles Spurgeon never disappoints. I have been using quotes from his books on my blog and always touched a heart when I did. The Holy Spirit guides writers like this whether mainstream Christianity believes the Bible over men or not.
