This is the first time I have ever read Spurgeon. He is the best writer I have ever read, period. Even if this is altered somewhat by Whitaker, get it. You will not be disappointed at all. Comforting, Life altering, engrossing. If you have ever gone through trials and been angry at God, this man will open your eyes to the JOY of going through trials - Absolute Joy. I will never be the same again. I am in awe of Spurgeon's wisdom and beautiful - BEAUTIFUL writing. Reading his work is like looking at a glorious painting. I cannot write a review to do him justice. If I could only write like Spurgeon...

"Spurgeon On Prayer and Spiritual Warfare" is a compilation of writings on the topic of prayer by a man known in his day as the "Prince of Preachers".

Among the important points covered include:

1. While others disappoint us, we can find divine assurance in God's sweet promises.
2. Through Jesus, we can approach God with unstaggering faith.
3. Acknowledge your dependence on God. When you are weak, you are strong. Before God can use us, He has to break us.
4. God is willing and able to bless us beyond what we ask!
5. God prefers the humble heart to pomp and show.
6. Apart from Jesus, we have no hope.
7. Excellent notes on how the devil attacks us. Be careful of idleness, for that is when the evil one can do much damage.
8. The devil loves to hinder Christian communion.

While I enjoyed reading some of his actual prayers (consists of about 20% of the book), I would have preferred reading more of his thoughts on prayer and how prayer can be unleased for God's glory. Neverless, I was greatly encouraged by the read.

Read, enjoy, and be blessed! Highly recommended.

This book is a must read if you are serving our Lord so much that you are a threat to Satan and you are being attacked by satan, Spurgeon explains what you're going through so much that is seems like he is right there with you. THis book has helped me through many battles with our enemy and helped me to understand how to battle satan and his crew. The Lord has blessed CHarles Spurgeon tremendously and he is passing it on to us in this wonderful book.

Spurgeon is a must read. His direct style of writing is refreshing in today's world where so many people beat around the bush.

Every time I pick this book up...whatever I read that day seems to be written for just what I am needing at that moment. Mr.Spurgeon has to be the BEST author I've ever read...easy to understand without dumbing everything down for the reader.
GET THIS BOOK...and read it...you will be blessed.

This book is almost 600 pages, and I believe I learned something or was introduced to a new way of spiritual thinking several times on each of its pages. Written around the Civil War period, you would think it was a modern book. Amazing.
