'We were nearly there when some figures blocked our way. I went
cold all over. This was no chance encounter. They had planned this
and waited for us. This was it.''Move out of the way Blackie' the
skinhead said. 'We got business with your friend.' Star Smith has
enough problems in life trying to keep her wacky family a secret.
Then a black girl arrives on the scene.... With the racist
attitudes of kids in her area Star knows that if she befriends
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
An excellent and useful gift for pastors and seminary students,
church history enthusiasts, and even collectors and readers of
classic Victorian literature.
A parallel New Testament commentary that includes the text of the
King James Version and applicable portions from the sermons from
Charles Spurgeon on each left-hand page, and excerpts from the
writings of John Wesley and Matthew Henry on each right-hand page.
Read the biblical text and glance across the page to get the
interpretations and meditations of these giants of the faith.
The student or pastor with a small but growing library, as well as
the pastor possessing an extensive one, will welcome the
opportunity to secure this reprint of Spurgeon's catalog of
Biblical commentaries and expositions. Once you begin to dip into
this volume it will become a faithful friend by your side. Worth
its weight in gold! "New commentaries on the Bible abound, but
often the cutting edge is dull. With few exceptions, the old works
are better by far. Spurgeon's Commenting and Commentaries is
invaluable for identifying the best works of past generations, many
of which have been reprinted in our day." - Dr. Robert P. Martin
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.
GOD'S WILL, MAN'S WILL, AND FREE WILL Is it possible for a creature
to have a free will and to continually exercise that will in
complete conformity to the will of God? Yes Are the creatures who
thus conform their wills continually to the will of God in
servitude? Are they slaves? Yes If God plans, fore-determines and
predestinates each and every deed of a man's life, powerfully
controlling all circumstances, all persons, even all forces of
whatever variety and magnitude that affects his life, can that one
be free? Yes In this little book the large subject of God's Will,
Man's Will, and Free will is keenly examined by five different
authors who make use of the Holy Scriptures to answer the multitude
of questions, and of objections to what is written HORATIUS BONAR
notes three things about men without Christ: 1. Their souls are not
at rest. 2. Their conscience is not at work. And, 3. They do not
tremble at the Word of God. The Lord has spoken. There is no room
to question when His voice is heard. JONATHAN EDWARDS notes that
God is the Supreme Orderer of all things, but that His ordering of
all things (His orderings of the heart and fixing the steps of a
man - Proverbs 16:1, 9) does not interfere with a man's ability to
choose. C. H. SPURGEON notes that men will not come to Christ that
they might have LIFE because they are dead in trespasses and sin.
Can there be a soul that will not become wiser from these
discussions? Edwards (1703-1758) is by far the best known American
theologian. After graduating from and teaching at Yale University,
he began a very fruitful ministry at Northampton, MA. The church
was the scene of the explosive revival of 1734, 35, and burned
fiercely for Godunder Edwards for several years. Edwards then went
to pastor the lowly Indians. But at last he was called to be the
first president of Princeton University, where he served only 5
weeks, dying of smallpox. C. H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) was not only
the famed preacher for whom The Metropolitan Tabernacle was built,
but he wrote a host of books, published a magazine, was a
colporteur, was an expositor, etc. Horatius Bonar (1809-1899) was a
Presbyterian minister in Scotland and the author of many excellent
books of much practical value. Jay P. Green, Sr. (1918-) is
Translator and Editor of The Interlinear Hebrew-Greek-English Bible
and the translator of the Modern King James Version of the Holy
Bible, The Teenage Version of the Holy Bible, and the Literal
translation of the Holy Bible. He has written numerous books on
textual criticism.
