Susie

The Life and Legacy of Susannah Spurgeon, wife of Charles H. Spurgeon

Ray Rhodes Jr. · Moody Publishers

A carefully researched portrait of Susannah Spurgeon — devoted wife, active ministry partner, and a woman of remarkable faith in her own right. Despite years of physical illness, Susie managed a book fund for ministers, wrote her own books, and left a legacy that stands independent of her husband’s fame.

This book offers a unique perspective on the life of a woman who, despite being overshadowed by her more famous husband, played a crucial role in his life and ministry.

A significant part of the book is devoted to Susie’s own contributions to Christian life and literature. Despite her own health struggles, she managed a book fund to distribute Christian literature, supported her husband’s work, and even wrote several books. The author highlights how Susie’s spiritual depth, wisdom, and resilience made her a formidable figure in her own right.
