5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best daily devotionals I have ever read, October 24, 2006

By 

Nan (Singapore) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Morning by Morning (Christian Classics) (Hardcover)

I chanced upon this daily devotional in a local bookshop. I didn't know it was that good. I just bought it because I needed something extra for the morning before going off to work. As I began going through it, I realised how inspiring, motivating and crystal clear Spurgeon was able to explain some of the things about God. Along the way, it gave me many fresh revelations; things that I accepted previously as a Christian but never really understood why. As mentioned, many of the devotionals were inspiring and motivating. I really felt that God was speaking to me so lovingly through Spurgeon's devotionals. I'm not the only one who felt this way. Many of my friends and colleagues whom I shared the devotionals with felt the same way. Spurgeon's devotionals brought them so much closer to God and made some of them so much more passionate about God. This is definitely the first-choice daily devotional to go through first thing after we wake up every morning.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and challenging, October 13, 2008

By 

Armchair Interviews (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Morning by Morning (A Pure Gold Classic) (Pure Gold Classics) (Paperback)

Charles H. Spurgeon was one of the most powerful preachers of 19th century England. He preached his first sermon at the age of 16, was called to his first church at the age of 18 and at the age of 21 was called to be the pastor of New Park Street Chapel in London.

This volume provides the reader with a concise biography of CH Spurgeon who among other things led the construction of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, which when completed in 1861, held nearly 6,000 people for services, and at the time was the largest church in the world. During his lifetime he also raised the funds to support an orphanage, started a Pastors College, published a monthly magazine called "The Sword and the Trowel" and preached over 6,000 sermons without ever repeating a single sermon.

Morning by Morning is a series of 365 devotionals that can be used by the reader to begin each day with God. The devotionals include over 1,400 Scripture references and notes. The book includes both a topical index so the reader can find biblically based advice under variety of subjects, and a sequential index from Genesis to Revelation showing where various verses were used in the devotionals.

Spurgeon throughout his lifetime had only one sermon theme, Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The series of devotionals is intended to introduce the reader on every page to the Savior in a very practical and meaningful way. The language has been updated so that today's reader will find it easy to absorb the same practical advice that thousands sought during Spurgeon's ministry.

During his lifetime Spurgeon pioneered a new type of preaching that was neither academic nor theological but simply practical. While self-taught and never ordained (it was offered to him, but he felt that his calling came from God not from man) he nevertheless had a deep knowledge of Scripture and studied it in the original languages. Yet when he preached his sermons to his congregation his method of presentation was straightforward, often accompanied by everyday examples that anyone could understand, and always included a call to follow Christ.

The reader will be inspired and challenged and said by the writings of Spurgeon in this volume.

Armchair Interviews agrees.
