“It is a grand thing to be started in life aright; it is half the battle, you know, to begin well.”— C.H. Spurgeon, A Good Start
What’s inside
25 Chapters on Beginning Well
First published in 1898, A Good Start was written for young men and women standing at the threshold of life. That truth has not aged a day — the world still needs men who lead with conviction, love with courage, and build lives that outlast them.
Short chapters
Read one a day on your own — or one a week with your son, your small group, or your men’s ministry.
Faith in Scripture
Spurgeon walks through Joash, Ruth, Esther, Sarah, Lydia, and the Queen of Sheba — real people who started well, or didn’t.
Counsel for real life
Plain, pointed words on temptation, diligence in business, the changes of life, and how swiftly it all goes by.
