Customer Reviews

Classic

Most of the writings by Spurgeon are a must read. This book some say gives you a taste of his best, its humorous, simple, easy to read, definitely NOT boring, and many times convicting as it brings many subject matters close to home, who said old books are out of style? :)

For plain people

This is the genius of Spurgeon. This is delighful,but doctrinally sound. The humorous treatment of the various subjects is not tasteless. This is a must for Spurgeon readers who have not read this gem. I gave it out as Chrismas gifts this past year {2006}, and they are geatly appreciated. This is one of the great productions of one of God's most humble and useful servants. Enjoy!!
