Description

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) served for 30 years at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. It is estimated that during his lifetime he spoke to 10 million people, and he became known as the "Prince of Preachers." His works fill over 60 volumes; and more than a century after his death, his sermons and devotional texts continue to challenge and touch Christians and non-Christians alike with their biblical grounding, eloquent text, and simple encouragement. Among his published books are "Lectures to My Students" (Hendrickson); "The Treasury of David" (Hendrickson), a devotional commentary on the Psalms; "All of Grace," the first Christian pocket-paperback published in the United States; numerous volumes of topical sermon collections; and the best-selling "Morning and Evening."

Features & Highlights

  • Charles Haddon Spurgeon's classic Morning and Evening collection of daily devotionals was written in England more than a century ago. For generations, its cherished gems of daily strength and meditation inspired millions. However, in recent times, its archaic words, English spellings, and 19th-century expressions had become a barrier to many of today's readers and had obscured the vitality of this magnificent volume. In this new revised and updated version, Spurgeon's work is returned to its former brilliance and polish. The language has been remarkably updated without losing Spurgeon's knack for writing the well-turned phrase with well-chosen words. His themes emerge as fresh and relevant to our day as they were in his day. Urban poverty, troubling foreign political events, the role of church and state, troubling developments in public education - these issues were as much in his thoughts and prayers as they are in ours today. Morning and Evening offers two devotionals a day that will take you on an inspirational, year-long journey through every part of God's Word. It's a work that stands ready to help in your daily walk of faith in a language that a new generation can understand.

Great devotional.

Jesus Christ is the same today, yesterday and forever. God never changes and while some of us try to compromise our faith in this ever-changing world, we need to realize that the God of Abraham is the same God we serve today. I'm appalled at how Christians try to compromise our faith in order to fit in. Yes, i've been guilty several times of this so i'm not pointing any fingers.
Needless to say, it's awesome to have a devotional that relies on the word of God, that has truth in it and reminds you of who God is. This devotional is very relevant in today's culture. God is still the same so let's not twist stuff in the bible in the name of present day culture. As a young adult who is trying to strengthen my walk with Christ, i find it refreshing to find a devotional that isn't 'sweetened' up to suit the part of me that wants to be godly and yet partake in the world. I want something that hits me with the plain truth and make me realize that i need to make Christ Jesus my primary focus. That's exactly what i get from this book. There are times i cry when i start reading the devotional cuz the tears just flow down my eyes. There are times when i read and learn something about God's love for me and that encourages me to keep on, to walk on by faith.

This is a great devotional but i think it's best to read the complete and unabridged version. I got a new copy of the unabridged here on amazon for lot, lot cheaper i think it makes a lot more sense than these modern day translations. However, the modern day ones are good. Whichever one you get, i hope you approach God each morning and evening and like i read the other day, we don't need to approach God in the morning and evening and live the rest of the day in utter ignorance of him.

If you're looking for something that paints a gray picture of living for Christ, this isn't it. If you're looking for something that tells you Jesus Christ isn't the only way to the Father, this ISN'T your book either. This isn't gonna tell you all lifestyles, religion and worldviews are equally valid. If you want to know God, know him as He is, not as you want Him to be. Remember, you can't serve both God and Mormon. For those who get this book, i hope it draws you closer to the Almighty God.

Version not given in description

I was disappointed to learn the the Scripture references in this volume were NIV. I don't remember seeing this listed anywhere in the description. I would have preferred KJV. I assumed it would be since that is what Spurgeon wrote with. However, the M & E devotional is awesome! If you have a version preference, be sure to check it out with the vendor before purchasing!

Spurgeon Devotional

This is an excellent book, nicely layed out in a morning page and an evening page, side by side, for comfortable reading. Much can be gained for the spiritual life from Charles Spurgeon. So glad to have this in my library of books to keep.

Start Your Day

Of all the devotional books I own and read, Spurgeon is by far the best. I bought this as a birthday gift for my sister. She confirmed what I thought..."it's much meatier than my other devotionals." My version is King James. No matter...it's a winner!

Spurgeon ...love his books

This book is amazing and beautiful!! Spurgeon has such a refreshing, loving way of seeing God's love and purpose for his children... even in the worst of trials. This book will build your faith and give you hope while you discover God's perspective and not our own limited perception. He always expresses how God's loving hand shapes our lives and character. I can't say enough how much this book has blessed me and my friends and family. ..
