Product Highlights
"The very best of Mr. Spurgeon's work and the very best things that he says, are to be found in these lectures. We have read them with delight. They are full of weighty spiritual counsel, of common-sense, of humour. When the lecturer is addressing his audience upon the Holy Spirit in connection with our ministry, no one will find a sentence to excite a smile. The reader is borne down by a sense of grave spiritual realities. When we come to 'Open-Air Preaching' we have more common-sense in a page than many men exhibit in a lifetime, while the lectures on 'Position, Action, Gesture, &c.' with their illustrations, are brimful of humour." "Truly admirable—pointed, hearty, practical, pithy, and full of good sense, while the spirit breathed is always that of manly piety and wise Christian zeal." "Mr Spurgeon has selected topics of practical importance such as the call to the ministry, the preachers private prayer, sermon matter, the arrangement of the voice, impromptu speech, the choice of a text, and the like; and on each and all of the themes thus taken up he has much to say that is worth hearing, and he says it in a way that at once enlists the readers attention. Every point is illustrated in a forcible, homely style, and pulpit anecdotes of the most interesting character abound in these pages." "I've always loved Charles Spurgeon for his plainspokenness, his courage, his enthusiasm for the Word of God, his love for the truth, his command of the English language, and his ability to use simple, vivid language to make difficult truths inescapably clear." "Contains an extensive catalog of Bible commentaries and other expository works. Of particular value for its listing of works from the time of the Reformation of the middle of the nineteenth century." "One day I heard a friend say, 'I write my sermons, then I read Spurgeon to see how he dealt with the text.' The Prince of Preachers is still head of the class." Commenting and Commentaries - Offers you a unique glimpse into the mind and thoughts of Charles Spurgeon on the subject of Bible Commentaries.

In Lecture 2, Spurgeon discusses that value that commentary can offer to Scripture, especially when it helps to enlighten and illuminate the Bible text and meaning. About the Author The details of Charles Haddon Spurgeon's life still continue to amaze one and all. He was born in Kelvedon, Essex, England, on June 19, 1834. He accepted Christ in 1850 at the age of 15. By age 16, he preached his first sermon in 1851, and by age 20, Spurgeon had already preached over 600 sermons. In 1854, Spurgeon was asked to become pastor of the New Park Street Chapel, one of the sixth largest Baptist Churches in London. The 1200 seat Chapel had previously been pastored by Dr. John Gill among others, and it carried a rich heritage with it. Although the Church was located in the midst of a filthy industrial district which was hard to reach, by 1855, it was obvious that the Church must start meeting at the Exter Hall while the Church building was expanded. When the expansion was completed, it still was too small and the congregation was forced to start meeting at the Surey Music Hall. By 1856, over 10,000 people would crowd the hall just to get a chance to hear Spurgeon preach a sermon. To accommodate the growing number of people, the church voted to build a new sanctuary and to change the name of the Church to the Metropolitan Tabernacle. On March 31, 1861, the first service was held in the sanctuary, with a capacity of 5,600 was the largest non-conformist church in the world. When Spurgeon came to New Park Street in 1854 it had a membership of just 232 members. By the end of 1891, 14,460 souls had been baptized and added to the church with a standing membership of 5311. Spurgeon ministered there for over 30 years. It is estimated that over his lifetime he preached to over 10,000,000 people.
