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.

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.

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. (:

I got a little cash for Christmas and ordered these for myself. They are just wonderful. My only tiny problem I have is the type set in the book. It can be a little blurry at times.

The content in these books is just wonderful. Reading them is like soaking in light or something...so so different from reading modern christian writers...

Well worth the money.

This reading is a must. I believe that the old writers just have a way of explaining Gods word much better than those today. If you can read any of these sermons and not cry, I would check your salvation. It speaks to your heart in ways easily understood. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a more personal relationship with the Lord.

This is a collection of Spurgeon's Sermons in a 5 volume set, and Hard Backed too. Not only is the print and paper of good quality, so too are the covers. Each of the volumes itemise the sermons at the front of each one, so that a particular topic is easy to find.
For the cost, the are well worth having in your collection and worth reading.

Fantastic collection from the Prince of Preachers....

Topically divided in the Table of Contents so you can find what you are looking for.

Spurgeon is a breath of fresh air for the weak preaching of our times.... and a reminder of what the Baptist denomination used to be.

Can't beat the price for some classic sermouns on Christian faith. Print readablility is a bit off but I can still read it. If you want some good old 1860's -70's Christian teachings that are timeless, get these. Spurgeon truths get right to the heart of the gospels. No sugar coating on Christ message of repentance. Great Read for $30.

Comprehensive volumes on Spurgeon's sermons, even with date and place that he spoke them. Easy to navigate as there is a topical and Bible reference appendix so you can either read some subjects for the first time or review a whole sermon where you have heard quotes in the past.

Spurgeon truly was one of the greatest pastors, and he would be the first to tell you it was only by God's grace that he could bring us God's word.

These volumes are very comprehensive and for under $50 it is a steal. I have enjoyed them and used them in many different ways and have enjoyed reading them in Spurgeon's venacular instead of some of the contemporary changes some have made.

If you are a fan of Spurgeon this is truly a great set to have in your library

Spurgeon's Surmons are a wonderful source of timeless inspiration. Other than a few light or missed letters in the printing of these volumes, it's great to have them available at this affordable cost!
