5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book!, August 24, 2002

This review is from: Grace And Power (Paperback)

This was a great book, and I highly recommend it! However, beware, it is an easy read, and I wouldn't exactly describe it as a book you should get if you want an intense study. It did bring me a lot closer to God, though, and it opened up some wonderful truths to me! But after I read it once, I went back to read it all over again, and found myself wanting to know more about what he talks about, and wishing he would concentrate on certain subjects longer. So why did I give it five stars? Because this book is a must have---if you have in mind exactly what it is. If you're expecting an exposition of all the subjects, you won't find it here, but you will find simple meditations on passages of the Word of God and if you are anything like me, they will bring you much closer to Him. I still read chapters over again, and I still get things out of it. It's a terrific book, but each subject is only dwelt on a little bit, and it's not exactly a book intended to prove or disprove certain things or doctrines. But if you give it a chance, it will bring you closer to God! The book is divided into six sections: Grace God's Unmerited Favor, Power in the Blood, Being God's Friend, Joy in Christ's Presence, Holy Spirit Power, and The Second Coming of Christ. The section on grace and the section Joy in Christ's Presence, along with a few chapters out of Power in the Blood, are, in my opinion, the best of the book, but the others are great as well. The Second Coming of Christ doesn't go into an in depth explanation of all the verses that deal with it, or into an exposition of prophecy, but deals with a few verses, and deals with them well. Overall, it's not a book to read to study the subjects it has in it, but it's a book to read to remind you of simple but wonderful truths, and to bring you closer to God. It will leave you wanting to know more!!! It is in my opinion a must-have!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Title on God's Grace and Power!, July 6, 2007

This review is from: Grace And Power (Paperback)

Spurgeon's title on Grace and Power is actually a compilation of 6 sections or books:

1. Grace: God's Unmerited Favor
2. Power in the Blood
3. Being God's Friend
4. Joy in Christ's Presence
5. Holy Spirit Power
6. The Second Coming of Christ

All six sections are wonderful, but the one on Being God's Friend was particularly encouraging. Read all six sections/books and be encouraged in the Lord! All of the sections are written in typical Spurgeon eloquence.

Read and enjoy. Highly recommended!
