The Words of Spurgeon

 

Just last weel I decided to follow Charles H. Spurgeon - Devotionals, Gems and Other Writings on Facebook. I've been a fan of Charles Spurgeon for many years now.

His devotional "Look Unto Me: The Devotions of Charles Spurgeon" by Jim Reimann has been an excellent study book for me through the years. 

When I worked, a coworker had a book of quotes by Spurgeon. I am a quote person and enjoyed him letting me read it.


I have used his quotes in many of my writings, and his words have given me much food for thought in living the Christian life and understanding my faith. He's remembered as the "Prince of Preachers."

There are many good devotion books out there by many different authors. I have a number that I go through periodically. I've always felt confident and sure after reading Spurgeon's words. 

Spurgeon was an English Baptist preacher. He born in Essex, England. His conversion from nominal Congregationalism came in 1850, at age 15. On his way to a scheduled appointment, a snowstorm forced him to cut short his intended journey and to turn into a Primitive Methodist chapel in Colchester where he believed God opened his heart to the salvation message. The text that moved him was Isaiah 45:22: "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God, and there is none else."

If you're looking for a deeper study that is understandable and interesting, I'd recommend his devotional "Look Unto Me."
