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.

Full of insight, exhortation, edification, and tender rebuke, this devotional fueled my imagination and creativity on what it truly means to love and follow Jesus. I think it was most beneficial in prompting me to think not just about what the Bible says verbatim, but what it infers, what further-reaching conclusions we can make, and how those can affect our daily lives, our daily meditation on Scripture, and our daily prayers.
I've wondered recently why it is that a Christian's imagination can be so captivated by fiction books or televisions shows, but not the Bible. This book lent a lens to examine my own heart; to paraphrase C.S. Lewis, I am far to easily pleased with the pebbles and mud in which I carouse simply because I cannot imagine anything past it. This devotional helps me imagine past my assumptions, and see what hint of God is in every gift I have been given, and how that paints a rough image of His excellence, and then how that whispers of His actual presence.

Daily thought from Spurgeon, one paragraph, likely something from his other work, but very well stands on its own merits, too. Formally written (as would be expected from Spurgeon's time period), rich vocabulary.

Highly recommend this little book if you're looking for "just a snippet" of Spurgeon at a time. You will have plenty to think about! There are NOT Bible passages cited in any of the dailies, however it is clearly Bible based and Christ centered and wholly Christian in its focus.

This has been a nice small dose of Spurgeon as part of my daily devotions throughout 2015.

Quite a good way to get a feel of Spurgeon if you've never read any or much of his work.
