Charles Simeon
A quick look on My Library Thing suggests that I don't own a single thing by or about Charles Simeon, the great Anglican clergyman, preacher and encourager of preachers. Where would you start? Can you recommend a light, colourful biography?
I read a short biography of him by Handley Moule a couple of years ago, it was good. Also amazon tells me he is in one of john Piper's 'Roots of Endurance' biography series. Haven't read it, but I guess it's good!
There's a super little Grove Booklet called something like 'Charles Simeon, Preacher Extraordinary'.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I might give it a try sometime.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Josh. I've enjoyed the Piper biography sketches I've read. V readable and applied.
