Books by Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Charles Haddon Spurgeon-the Prince of Preachers-is one of the most influential preachers of the past 150 years; he is also the most prolific Christian writer in history, publishing more than 140 books, thousands of sermons and letters, and a monthly magazine, The Sword and the Trowel. In this series, learn from the Prince on a variety of topics, preached from his own pulpit at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. These topics include Calvinism, prayer, specific portions of the Bible, and many more. Each volume contains complete, unabridged sermons and annotations for historical figures, events, or locations potentially unknown to the modern reader.In this volume, Sermons on Grace, Spurgeon teaches the core concepts of the doctrine most precious to him: grace, taught within the Calvinist framework. Through 11 sermons, organized according to the Calvinist acronym, TULIP, and one treatise, learn about this prominent doctrinal system from the most famous Calvinist in history-other than maybe John Calvin himself.

Spurgeon offers a series of advisory missives to those seeking spiritual attainment, a closeness with God, and a saving of their own immortal soul.This book essentially comprises a series of proscriptions from one of the finest preachers of his time. Advice on living life is grounded in realistic thinking; from the get-go Spurgeon urges the reader not to strive for spiritual achievement with self-righteous behavior.

H. Spurgeon did not refrain from delivering profound and assertive advice to those willing to listen. Known for his ability to tackle most any topic significant to the Christian pursuit of joy and togetherness with the Lord, in many respects this book is an accurate representation of the author's life work.

As one of the most revered Baptist preachers of his time, Charles Haddon Spurgeon's eventful and prolific life and career offer outstanding inspiration for all Christians to this day.In the first volume of Spurgeon's autobiography, we witness his rise from modest obscurity, embarking on a long road toward fame and admiration as a representative of God on Earth. A lengthy, lively and detailed biography is helped by the fact that Spurgeon was an effusive and prolific talker and author of many documents: he would recount incidents of his life on paper and in speeches regularly. We find in this volume the famous instance in which the young Spurgeon encountered his call from God. When Spurgeon was aged fifteen, a violent snowstorm forced him from his route into a Methodist church where he felt the Lord beckon him to service. After this, he undertook parochial study with great fervor, and quickly became a respected teacher in his local Sunday School, gaining the nickname 'the boy-preacher of the Fens'.

In 'John Ploughman's Talk' I have tried to talk for ploughmen and common people. Hence refined taste and dainty words have been discarded for strong old proverbial expressions and homely phrases. I have aimed my blows at the vices of the many, and tried to inculcate those moral virtues without which men are degraded and miserable. Much that needs be said to the toiling masses would not suit well the pulpit and the Sabbath; these lowly pages may teach thrift and industry all the days of the week, in the cottage and the workshop: and if some learn these lessons I shall not repent the adoption of the rustic style. --from the Preface

Before delivering a sermon, C. H. Spurgeon read a portion of Scripture, interrupting his readings with spontaneous comments to expose the Scripture's meaning and content. Although these Expositions were transcribed and mingled with his sermon publications, they have never been published as a work to themselves. A complete compilation of his expositions are here published in three volumes entitled C. H. Spurgeon's Expositions. While not every scripture of the Bible was covered in his expositions, the result is a 'virtual' concise Bible commentary. Volume three contains his expositions from John through Revelation.Spurgeon's expositions show a spontaneity of thought, and have a rhythmic presentation which his written sermons do not contain. President James A. Garfield described them as ""familiar and sensible."" They are also profound, demonstrating his burning desire and urgency to comfort God's people in declaring the Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ.
