Susannah Spurgeon: The Pastor's Wife Who Didn't Let Sickness Stop Her

Show kids how wonderful it is to serve God, even when it's hard. The true story of Susannah Spurgeon, the wife of British pastor Charles Spurgeon, inspires children to persevere.

Susannah was married to a very gifted and busy preacher, who could not have done all he did without her support. Susie experienced poor health for much of her life, but she did not let that stop her from serving. One key way that she served the wider church was by creating the Book Fund, which gave free copies of Charles' books to poor pastors who could not afford to buy them.

This beautifully illustrated children's biography of Susannah Spurgeon (1832-1903) features stylish illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos. It is part of the Do Great Things for God series, which is designed to show kids that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
