Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the gifted nineteenth-century English preacher, was a man whose whole being seem infused with the Word of God. He possessed a deep passion for men and women to know God and then to keep growing in their knowledge of him. To this end, he worked tirelessly to advance and defend the truths of Scripture and to present the excellencies of his Saviour. The exceptional breadth of his ministry and its lasting influence, even on modern-day evangelicals, is remarkable. In this volume, Larry Brown has compiled Spurgeons expositions of Scripture, which were given as he read biblical passages before preaching. These were often mini-sermons in themselves. Ideal for daily reading, Devotional thoughts on the Bible enables the reader to advance through the main themes of a book of the Bible in a relatively short time as Spurgeon masterfully probes both the text and the reader.
He was converted to Christ at the age of 16 and immediately began preaching. He preached in the streets and in the fields before he was 21. In his first church, he began with 100 members. It grew until he was preaching to 10,000 people in the Surrey Music Hall. His church, the Metropolitan Tabernacle, seated 6,000 people. He withdrew from every movement among English Baptists which tended to criticize the Authorized Version 1611 in any way.
Before his death, he published more than 2,000 sermons and 49 volumes of commentaries, sayings, anecdotes, illustrations, and devotions.
