Spurgeon was no trite preacher. He knew sorrow, and he spoke as one who had been there. Pastor Charles Spurgeon was a friend to those who physically and mentally suffered. He and his own dear wife, Susannah, suffered truly through years of physical and mental pains. In this light, Charles preached transparently about sorrows and their many kinds, including depression in all its forms.
