About the Author
Spurgeon, the great Victorian preacher, was a leading campaigner against Liberal Theology and one of the most influential people of the 2nd half of the 19th Century. He is known as the 'Prince of Preachers'. His sermons drew thousands to his church. Yet, at the heart of his desire to preach was a fierce love of people, a desire that meant that he did not neglect his pastoral ministry.

Abridged and poorly proofed,
By
This review is from: Morning & Evening (Paperback)
Spurgeon's material in "Morning and Evening" is excellent. This is not a review of his work. It is however a review of this particular edition.
Whitaker House has offered up an abridged version of the content and has done a very poor job of proofing it. I have found the book difficult to read, not because I have problems with British sentence structure of over a century ago, but because I often have to re-read a sentence to parse what it was supposed to say due to mistakes in typesetting or typographical errors. Here is a sample from the February 24th morning reading, "He usually give it in such a measure that there is not room to receive it," or "'As thy day, so shall they strength be.'" (That should be "gives" and "thy strength".) This reads like your average 13-year-old's Internet post, not like the writing of a well-educated man of God that was published by someone that cared about what was being said. My advice? Look for a better copy.

A Well-Made, Timeless Devotional,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Morning and Evening (Matt Black) (Leather Bound)
I purchased two copies of the matt black, imitation leather version of "Morning and Evening". I'm specifying this because I noticed the reviews for the "Morning and Evening" devotional by C.H. Spurgeon can be for different editions. While there are plenty of reviews by others regarding the devotional itself (it's a work of Spurgeon; how could it not be awesome?), I'd like to comment on the physical, descriptive aspects of this edition.
The book is barely larger than a common checkbook, and is only 5/8" thick (not the almost one inch as listed under the book's dimensions), which is perfect for toting around (it fits perfectly and rather comfortably in the front pocket of a pair of Dockers). The cover is indeed a matt black finish, unlike the almost shiny appearance of leather Bible covers. The type is small but is very readable to my 41-year old eyes, with the morning reading on the left page and the evening's on the right. The paper is just like that of a good-quality Bible; thin, almost tissue paper-like, but not so thin that they're overly delicate. The golden edges and a black ribbon marker give the book a very "bible-esque" appearance. I wasn't sure if the edition I ordered contained the original, unabridged work of Spurgeon, complete with all the "thee"s and "thou"s, which is what I wanted. To the best of my knowledge, this is an unabridged version, and does indeed contain Spurgeon's original language (which at times is a bit archaic, but hey, it's Spurgeon. It never hurts to open a dictionary once in a while). The Bible translation used is the King James (which at times is a bit archaic, but hey, it's a classic and still a very accurate translation. It never hurts to open a dictionary once in a while :-)). After owning and reading this book for about a month, I'm very pleased with the overall construction of it. It's held up to being read and carried in my book bag or my pocket every day since receiving it. I'm also very pleased with the contents. I would highly recommend this book to anyone in search of a daily devotional who wants something more than most of the cotton candy-like fluff being passed off as Christian literature these days.

Spurgeon counsels me.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Morning & Evening (Paperback)
Each day for three years Spurgeon has spoken and continues to speak to my husband and I. How rich it is to be in the audience of this great man of the faith as we drink of his Godly wisdom. Most days his encouragement speaks directly to our current need and we feel as though God had him write this many years ago just for us. Everyone should have one and use it along with their Bible each day!
