To answer this end, the very plainest language has been chosen, and many homely expressions have been used. But if those of wealth and rank should glance at this book, the Holy Ghost can impress them also; since that which can be understood by the unlettered is none the less attractive to the instructed. Oh that some might read it who will become great winners of souls! Who knows how many will find their way to peace by what they read here? A more important question to you, dear reader, is this — Will you be one of them?

All of Grace explained much of how the Christian faith works. Spurgeon walks step-by-step how God calls us to Himself, points out where we have disobeyed Him sin , and how God provides a way to restore that broken relationship.
All of Grace fills in so many gaps that we often gloss over in today's theological presentations. Spurgeon's text is actually a great vaccine against today's man-centered theology. He reminds us that we do not rely on feelings or anything but the word of God for our motivation. He reminds us that God not only provides the way to salvation through repentance for our sin and acceptance that Jesus paid the price for sin in our place , but also continues changing us to be less like our selfish, emotional selves and more like Christ.
The language is plain, but the style may take some getting used to, but All of Grace should be near the top of everyone's reading list soon. The title of chapter three is 'God Justifies The Ungodly'. Spurgeon wonders if some are surprised at that statement. The grace of God is not for the righteous that is those who are righteous in their own sight.
God's salvation is not for those who are pure and holy,but it is for those who are ungodly they are aware of their sinful condition and know that they need a Savior or they will perish. The beginning of God's saving work,in an individual's consciousness,makes them aware they are unclean before a holy God and they need to rescued from that state. The God of the Bible justifies the ungodly but he does not leave them in that condition-"If,however,you are troubled about the power of sin When they sin or fall short of God's standard of what is right,there is forgiveness with God through the atoning blood of his son.
Everyone that God justifies he also sanctifies. Spurgeon was one of God's mighty servants who longed to see sinners saved by God's Almighty Grace. His work 'The Soul Winner' is one of the great classics on God's work in salvation,that God's faithful ministers,in particular, and every believer,in general,should be engaged in,at varying levels according to grace,gift,and their level of spiritual maturity.

All of Grace: Charles Spurgeon: tandjfoods.com: Books
This is probably the simplest and most complete presentation of the Gospel I have found. I have read it twice and heard it on audio books once. I sent it to my beloved nephew to encourage him. I enjoy reading Spurgeon, and this was no exception. However, I did find more objectionable in this book than in most of his. In addition, I found him more repetitive here. However, the book is still full of meaning and has the potential of growing faith.

Although Charles Spurgeon presents this book as an introduction, I think it is too difficult for seekers and new Christians. Instead it is an ideal choice for someone looking to reconnect to Jesus and grow deeper in their faith. Spurgeon did a good job of writing in simple and plain English, so even though much time has passed since he wrote 'All of Grace', it is still readable for us modern folk. But I do not think it would make a good introduction because 1 Spurgeon tends to assume that readers have a basic familiarity of concepts like justification, and 2 because much of the book is about the doubts and spiritual battles that take place in the life of experienced believers.
He would not be justified in neglecting tillage because the secret energy of God alone can create a harvest. No one is hindered in the ordinary pursuits of life by the fact that unless the Lord build the house they labor in vain that build it. It is also a blessing that, whatever strength these may have to ruin us, Jesus has still greater power to save us.
He is faithful in His love; He knows no variableness, neither shadow of turning. He is faithful to His purpose; He doth not begin a work and then leave it undone.

He is faithful to His relationships; as a Father He will not renounce His children, as a friend He will not deny His people, as a Creator He will not forsake the work of His own hands. The hand which receives charity does not say, 'I am to be thanked for accepting the gift'; that would be absurd. When the hand conveys bread to the mouth it does not say to the body, 'Thank me; for I feed you. So God has selected faith to receive the unspeakable gift of His grace, because it cannot take to itself any credit, but must adore the gracious God who is the giver of all good.
We are saved 'through faith,' but salvation is 'by grace'. Many fancy that so many tears are to be shed, and so many groans are to be heaved, and so much despair is to be endured. Whence comes this unreasonable notion? Unbelief and despair are sins, and therefore I do not see how they can be constituent elements of acceptable repentance; yet there are many who regard them as necessary parts of true Christian experience.
They are in great error.
Still, I know what they mean, for in the days of my darkness I used to feel in the same way. I desired to repent, but I thought that I could not do it, and yet all the while I was repenting. Odd as it may sound, I felt that I could not feel. I used to get into a corner and weep, because I could not weep; and I fell into bitter sorrow because I could not sorrow for sin.
What a jumble it all is when in our unbelieving state we begin to judge our own condition! It is like a blind man looking at his own eyes. My heart was melted within me for fear, because I thought that my heart was as hard as an adamant stone. My heart was broken to think that it would not break. Now I can see that I was exhibiting the very thing which I thought I did not possess; but then I knew not where I was. Remember that the man who truly repents is never satisfied with his own repentance.
