“A good biography is kind of like putting an object in front of a mountain—it reduces the vastness of history by providing a focal point to understand and interpret a distinct period. This is exactly the case with Susie, a new biography of Susannah Spurgeon by Ray Rhodes.”

“Rhodes’s book is well-researched and well-written. It’s a page-turner of encouragement. Buy three copies: one for yourself, one for someone going through a difficult time, and one for a ministry wife. You’ll likely read this one more than once.”

“As the wife of world-famous preacher Charles Spurgeon, Susannah’s name has been known for ages, but her story has been hidden in the shadows…until now. Author Ray Rhodes has produced a beautiful book telling this woman’s story; an account that not only unveils the magnitude of Susannah’s ministry but the depth of her faith in Christ. It was a fantastic read and I highly recommend it. “

“To read Ray Rhodes’ recent biography, Susie: The Life and Legacy of Susannah Spurgeon, is to witness a life of utter surrender to service.”
