For almost fifty years now, Spurgeon’s Lectures to My Students has been a constant companion. I have read it, re-read it, referred to it in lectures, and quoted it often in my own attempts to write about preaching. Now, Dr. Allen has done us a wonderful service. His book Letters to My Students: On Preaching is a helpful, current discussion of the sacred task of preaching the Word of God. Should I have fifty more years of ministry, I’m sure this volume by Dr. Allen would be a constant reference. I am glad that those who will have those fifty years will be able to use it as such!
