5.0 out of 5 stars Five Double Volumes of Sermons by The Prince of Preachers, July 30, 2005

This review is from: Spurgeon's Sermons (5 Vol. Set) (Hardcover)

This set is a wonderful collection of sermons of the 19th-century "Prince of Preachers" in five double volumes (originally published in 10 volumes). It's also great that these sermons are purely of Spurgeon and unedited (unlike some of his other works that have been revised or edited by certain publishers).

In light of the set's size as a whole, there is a list of "index to subjects" (located at the end of the last volume) helpful in quickly looking up topical sermons as well as an "index to Scripture texts" for those interested in finding expositional sermon on certain passages of the Bible.

This set has been a wonderful investment to encourage my spiritual walk. Besides his humor, wit, and genius in preaching, I love Spurgeon's ability in using concrete examples to explain the truths of Scripture in a way that his laymen audience could easily understand, yet without compromising the richness and depth therein. He is theological and practical at the same time. His diction and delivery are inspirational; they enhance the beauty and force of his messages. There are plenty of sermons in this wonderful set to occupy the interested reader in godly thought and reflections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Multi-Volumed Sermon Set From the Prince of Preachers, May 15, 2004

This review is from: Spurgeon's Sermons (5 Vol. Set) (Hardcover)

This is a reprint by Baker Books of Charles Spurgeon's sermons originally published in 1883.

Since these books are reprints, the biblical refrences are in Roman numerals and the English is quite different from our own (particularly here in the United States).

However, if you love Spurgeon's works as I do then you will lay aside those petty differences and work your way through these five volumes of sermons. Each sermon is complete and unedited. The theology, the passion, the Scripture knowledge, Spurgeon's keen insights into not only his text but into problems coming to the Church of his day all flow from the pages of these reprints.

You will not regret spending the money for these sermon works and you will have enough Spurgeon to read for quite a while.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Spurgeon's Sermons (5 Vol. Set) (Hardcover)

Well, I'm sure this product is brilliant, however, when I ordered it I only received the 5th volume, instead of all 5. When I contacted amazon they stated that it was because it was no longer available from their distributor. I suppose whoever was packaging my order thought that the sermons in volume 5 would be more than enough to occupy me for the rest of my life, and I wouldn't miss the other 4. Unfortunately, I noticed. My review of this product was mostly to tell you that you might want to verify the availability of this product before you order it. (:
