This is Year One of a two year daily devotional; a fully updated and unabridged edition of Spurgeon's 600,000 word classic, originally titled The Interpreter, and replacing the King James Version with the English Standard Version. Great care has been taken to retain Spurgeon's views and illustrations while replacing 19th century British English with 21st century American English. For those wanting an ebook with a fully interactive Scripture Index, we recommend buying the Complete Work in One Volume. Selections for Year One are mainly from Genesis through Second Kings while Year Two has passages mainly from the Old Testament Prophetic Books and the New Testament. Psalms are interspersed among both years.

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.
