'We were nearly there when some figures blocked our way. I went

enough problems in life trying to keep her wacky family a secret.

Ebony she could lose more than her reputation.
"My college lectures are colloquial, familiar, full of anecdote,
and often humorous; they are purposely made so, to suit the
occasion. At the end of the week I meet the students, and find them
weary . . . and only in a condition to receive something which will
attract and secure their attention, and fire their hearts."
Though best remembered as the most popular preacher of the
Victorian era, C. H. Spurgeon was also founder and president of the
Pastor's College in London. He supervised the training of over 800
students, presided at an annual conference for ministers, and, on
Friday afternoons, delivered regular lectures on every aspect of
pulpit ministry.
Featuring such gems as "The Minister's Fainting Fits"; "Posture,
Action, Gesture, etc."; and "On the Choice of a Text," this
unabridged edition of 28 of Spurgeon's classroom discourses on
homiletics overflows with practical wisdom, discerning wit, and
sage advice. Covering the call, open-air preaching, ordinary
conversations, using illustrations, and conduct outside the church,
Spurgeon's words are as rich and nourishing for pastors and
students today as they were more than a century ago.
CHAPTERS INCLUDE
- The Minister's Self-Watch
- Our Public Prayer
- On Spiritualizing
- The Blind Eye and the Deaf Ear
- On Conversion as Our Aim
- The Sciences as Sources of Illustration

Farm Sermons are lessons learned from scripture dealing with the
land. "Farmers are as plentiful as ever, and discourses, designed
for them will find hearers if they deserve them. "It is fit that
farmers should have sermons gathered out of their own occupation,
for it is one which, above all others, abounds in holy teaching;
and, as it would be ill for dwellers in the Indies to go from home
for gold and spices, so would it be unwise to leave the field and
the plough in search of instruction. He who dwells at Newcastle
wastes time when he goes far for coals; he who lives by the labour
of the field will be foolish if he neglects the teaching of nature
for the most glittering philosophy. Some of the mightiest of
prophets and preachers came from the plough, and surely that must
be a good college which has furnished such able divines. As all the
world is fed by the produce of the farm, so may all men's minds
find food in meditating upon the ways of God in nature and
providence, as seen by the husbandman. Hence we have sought LESSONS
FROM THE ACRES."
All of Grace outlines C.H. Spurgeon's plan of salvation in clear,
simple language that everyone can understand and be drawn to the
Father. He shows that attempts to please God based upon our own
works brings self-righteousness and coldness of heart. It is the
free grace and mercy of God that makes the heart glow with warmth
and thankfulness for God's love. "Who knows how many will find
their way to peace by what they read here? A more important
question to you, dear reader, is this--Will you be one of them?"
Spurgeon's desire is to help the reader find the path to God and
encourage him to follow. "Meet me in heaven ""Whosoever will, let
him take the water of life freely." -- Revelation 22:17 Charles
Haddon Spurgeon was a British Baptist preacher known as the "Prince
of Preachers." He was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist
tradition, defending the Church in agreement with the 1689 London
Baptist Confession of Faith understanding, and opposing the liberal
and pragmatic theological tendencies in the Church of his day. In
his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to approximatelly 10,000,000
people. He was a prolific author of many types of works including
sermons, an autobiography, commentaries, books on prayer,
devotionals, magazines, poetry, hymns and more.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
