About This Charles Spurgeon Collection: • Optimized for Kindle • Active Table of Contents - Quick and easy navigation to each book and chapters • Charles Spurgeon Biography - The man behind the book
This collection includes 6 books by Charles Spurgeon: 1. All of Grace All of Grace is a simple and eloquent presentation of basic salvation through grace alone. Spurgeon wants readers only to consume his work and ponder it, he asks nothing in return because he believes in the power of God to bring unbelievers to Him. Spurgeon brings the gospel to his readers with pointed illustrations, well-placed anecdotes, irrefutable arguments, heart-felt pleas, and above all else the plainly-spoken and rightly-applied word of God. This short and easy read is both a perfect introduction to salvation and an assurance of it for unbelievers and the saved alike.
2. An All Round Ministry While Spurgeon is always, both stimulating and challenging, the context in which these addresses were given brought the best out of him and gave them unique quality. Full of biblical exposition, wise counsel, practical sanity and warm exhortation, they also sparkle with a delightful wit. Here is Spurgeon at his finest as a man with a pastoral heart par excellence.
3. Commenting and Commentaries Spurgeon's classic lecture series, together with his complete annotated catalog of commentaries. Spurgeon's pithy remarks on the relative merits of various commentaries are both witty and instructive. This is a delight to read, as well as a valuable tool for Bible teachers seeking the most helpful resources.
4. Eccentric Preachers A quaint collection of lectures about great preachers with unusual characteristics. Spurgeon said he wrote it in "self-defense."
5. Morning and Evening: Daily Reading Organized by month, this devotional has a morning and evening meditation for every day of the year. Although these devotions are short in length, they are filled with spiritual goodness. In just a few sentences, Spurgeon is able to convey the wisdom of Scripture with eloquence and purpose. These daily messages provide Christians with the spiritual energy they need to begin and end each day. Spurgeon weaves a verse of Scripture into each devotion, helping readers draw deeper meaning out of the selected passages. This powerful devotional provides Christians with the spiritual nourishment required to strengthen their relationships with God. Readers will find themselves inspired by Morning and Evening: Daily Readings.
6. Til He Come The father of the modern "mega-church," Spurgeon is most famous for his pastorship at London's Metropolitan Tabernacle, where he regularly preached to huge crowds. Till He Come is a collection of addresses centered on the Lord's Supper. Some were preached to the congregation at Metropolitan, while others were spoken to small groups of Christians Spurgeon hosted on Sundays to celebrate communion. The collection addresses a diverse range of scriptures, but all stick to the common theme of Jesus' symbolic last meal. It will prove helpful to anyone looking for further insight on this interdenominational practice and will encourage believers to "do this in remembrance of me."
About the Author Charles Haddon (C.H.) Spurgeon (June 19, 1834 – January 31, 1892) was a British Baptist preacher, still known as the "Prince of Preachers". In his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to around 10,000,000 people, often up to 10 times a week at different places. His sermons have been translated into many languages. Spurgeon was the pastor of the New Park Street Chapel in London for 38 years. He was part of several controversies with the Baptist Union of Great Britain, and later had to leave that denomination. Throughout his life, Spurgeon suffered from depression and other mental illnesses. In 1857, he started a charity organization called Spurgeon's which now works globally. He also founded Spurgeon's College, which was named after him after his death.-Wikipedia
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian, John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues, Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861, the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle.
Great help and comfort in this collection, after daily Bible reading and prayer of course, but I highly recommend it to the thinking Christian, that they may be encouraged by brother Spurgeon's exegesis and exposition of the Bible.
As this book is a collection of six distinct works by Spurgeon, the reviewer will update this review as he progresses through the collection. Separate reviews will also be made available at links to the individual texts, where available.
Work 1) "All of Grace"
This relatively short book is effectively a letter to everyone about God's character and plan to bring us to Him, written in as simple, straightforward, and understandable a way as practically any other work this reviewer has read. It is applicable to both the individual who already believes in Christ Jesus as savior, and more so for the one who does not. It directly addresses many common "why" questions and covers topics including justice, repentance, forgiveness, justification, deliverance, faith, grace, comfort, and hope. Similar in many ways to C.S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity" in its logical and forthright approach to its topic, it is well-written and composed in a manner easily understood by the common reader. Among the best Christian books this reviewer has experienced, and most highly recommended. A "must" read!
