Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a British Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the "Prince of Preachers." He preached his first sermon, from 1 Peter 2:7, in 1851 at 16 and became pastor of the Church in Waterbeach in 1852. He published more than 1,900 different sermons and preached to around 10,000,000 people during his lifetime. In addition, Spurgeon was a prolific author of many types of works including an autobiography, a commentary, books on prayer, a devotional, a magazine, poetry, hymnist and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were later translated into many languages. Arguably, no other author, Christian or otherwise, has more material in print than C.H. Spurgeon.

This book is exquisite. Spurgeon takes a verse of Scripture, even a phrase, and dotes on it to see the character of God behind it. Spurgeon's own words of reflection are resplendent, and he is one of those rare writers who can expand the vocabulary even without interrupting the reader's captivation......more
I tend to avoid daily devotionals because so many are so trite and devoid of any depth and meaning. But I don't know that anything of Spurgeon's could be accused of being trite. Morning and Evening is a wonderful twice-a-day devotional (though I would generally cheat and read both of the day's secti......more
Have read through more or less fit at least the last ten years. Always refreshed, challenged and encouraged. It's been fun to look at some of my highlights and notes from year to year. Every year, I am captivated by new insights I did not see the year before. Hope to read through for the next ten ye......more
