The Rev. Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 - 1892) is known as “The Prince of Preachers.” He was the pastor of the New Park Street Chapel in London (later known as the Metropolitan Tabernacle) for 38 years. He was enormously popular as a preacher, and frequently drew more than 10,000 hearers on Sunday Mornings. His sermons were published weekly, and were so popular, that they continued to be published weekly for 25 years after his death. This book is the eleventh volume (sermon numbers 607 through 667) of these sermons.

This is Volume 11 of a total 63 volumes of Rev. Spurgeon’s published sermons.

About the author

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.

Spurgeon is always easy to read, engaging, full of interesting things to say. In some ways I wish he hadn't written so much, then I might be able to enjoy reading his books at a more leisurely pace. As it is, I still have another fifty-one volumes of the Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit to work through! Not the right spirit, I know. One of Spurgeon's friends did say that he felt Spurgeon's sermons weren't so good in the years from 1860 to 1867, so it will be interesting to see if I can seen any noticeable difference after that time. If these sermons aren't Spurgeon at his best, they are still very good. It's just a pity it's so hard to navigate your way around sixty-two volumes of sermons to get the most out of them. They could be a marvellous resource for pastors to use who are looking for worthy material to distribute pastorally to their church members, or evangelistically to non-Christians. It would be helpful (if it isn't already available) if there was an online site where the individual sermons could be freely downloaded in printable booklet format for distribution.

I wish I could give these books a 10. CH Spurgeon's sermons and books are some of the greatest works in Christian literature. I do have this against the kindle version, some words have been changed, but it is still a must-read. I really hope and pray that the kindle version will be completed through all 63 volumes. The only original version I know of is or was published by Pilgrim Publication, Pasadena, Texas.
