The Bradys are in Seagrove, FL this week. In between building sand castles on the beach with Jack, William, Isaac, and Benjamin, and eating peel’ em and eat ‘em shrimp with mom, Grandad and Grandmama, I a devouring Lewis Drummond’s biography Spurgeon—Prince of Preachers (Kregal, 1992).
While I feel as though Charles Haddon Spurgeon (the 19th century’s greatest preacher) is vacationing with us this year, it is his father of whom I find myself most fond this afternoon. The following quote by Charles’s father makes me realize the importance of parenting and children.“As the parent of seventeen children, I have frequently worn a shabby coat, when I might have possessed a good one, had I cared less for my children’s education.”
John Spurgeon
