As Charles Haddon Spurgeon preached he often looked into the eyes of hurting and bewildered parishioner and responded with words of comfort. Spurgeon's words are the words of this book. These pasages are characterized by Spurgeon's rare ability to put deep truths into simple language with rich. warm, spiritual tones. Spurgeon's words reach across the years and speak to today's hurting, struggling, bewildered, and depressed people. His answers are still valid.
If you are facing difficulties, this book is for you.

We were given this book during one of the lowest points of our life. Both my wife and I have been encouraged and comforted by this resource. In turn we have given this book to more than a dozen friends as they have encountered difficulties. All who read it seem to be strengthened and encouraged.

An excellent daily devotional as only Spurgeon can provide. A daily guide through the bible with Spurgeon's incredible insight, truth and comfort on selected bible verses.

This is a very encouraging book for whatever you face in life. I keep it at my bedside and have ordered many extra copies to give as gifts. You really cant go wrong with Spurgeon. This book is a blessing and conveys basic tenets of the Christian faith arranged in biblical order with lots of wisdom and insight. Rest for the weary. An uplifting and soothing balm for the soul. Thanks be to God for Spurgeon and the writings he left us! We are truly "more than conquerors" as "all things work to the good according to His purpose." Romans 8

For several years I have given this book to those who were experiencing various trials--mourning the loss of a loved one mostly, but I now have occasion to use it myself as I mourn the loss of my own dear loved one.
Charles Spurgeon is able to speak to my heart and point me 'outward and upward' instead of allowing me to linger 'inward and downward'.
It is a wonderful resource to provide hope and encouragement as we walk through our lives and dark times attempting to give glory to God.

Every person living will at some time face trouble. Outside the Bible, this book is great help during such time.

I was near death with a very crippling type of a rare pneumonia. I was in the hospital 23 days and 3 weeks in rehab.---on oxygen.
My step daughter gave me this book. Each day I read two pages with prayer for healing. And.......I left the rehab center with having to be connected to oxygen tubes. I truly believe that prayer and this book helped me in a healing that was no way expected by doctors.
I continue to read each passages from this book with prayer. I have shared copies of this Beside Still Waters with several individuals that are in need of comfort. And the feedback from these people in distress has been so positive. It is important to read the Preface of the book first to get a better understanding of how it came to be edited. JES

Besides the Bible, it makes a thoughtful & timeless gift to those in need of comfort and encouragement whether for someone who is ill, or going through difficult times, for the loss of a loved one, or for everyday reassurance that the Lord is with us always. Spurgeon eloquently puts scripture together with the emotions one may experience in their lives. I have made it part of my Church Library and Home Library.

This book has encouraged me like no other devotional. Beautifully written, wonderful. I recommend this book for anyone who is going through a tough time. It will get out out of the pit. Lovely book.

If you are going through any kind of grief, or loss, or depression, or uncertainty you will find so much comfort in this book. Spurgeon reflects the heart of Jesus with comforting words of hope, encouragement, and understanding. Churches and preachers can make you feel beat up for you honest heartfelt feelings and give you no time to work it out. It takes time to work through whatever pain you encounter and Spurgeon speaks such peace to your soul. He doesn't feel sorry for you buts offers compassion Life is painful- Spurgeon gets it...he's been there.
