A Carillon of Bells: to Ring out the Old Truths of Free Grace and Dying Love

by Susannah Spurgeon

"He that spared not His own Son, . .
how shall He not with Him also freely give
us all things?"---Rom. viii. 32.
DEAR LORD, faith's fingers are joyfully touching the keys of this carillon of sweet bells this morning, and making them ring jubilantly to the praise of Thy gracious Name!
     "How shall He not!"
       "How shall He not!"
         "He that spared not!"
           "How shall He not!" 
What a peal of absolute triumph it is! Not a note of doubt or uncertainty mars the Heavenly music. Awake, my heart, and realize that it is thy faith which is making such glorious melody! 
Thou canst scarcely believe it for gladness? Yet it is blessedly true, for the Lord Himself hath given the grace, and then accepts the tribute of gratitude and praise which that 'grace brings. Press the tuneful keys again and again, for faith holds festival to-day, and the joy of assurance is working wonders.

A wonderful little book of devotions by Mrs. C. H. Spurgeon after the death of her husband.

[Megan Triplett · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderful, wonderful companion for walking through the Christian life!

[Ashley Finfrock · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not my favourite of her works. Possibly because this one took me longer to get through for some reason. It is still worth a read though.

Sweet honest prayers from a godly heart
