As one of the most revered Baptist preachers of his time, Charles Haddon Spurgeon's eventful and prolific life and career offer outstanding inspiration for all Christians to this day.In the first volume of Spurgeon's autobiography, we witness his rise from modest obscurity, embarking on a long road toward fame and admiration as a representative of God on Earth. A lengthy, lively and detailed biography is helped by the fact that Spurgeon was an effusive and prolific talker and author of many documents: he would recount incidents of his life on paper and in speeches regularly. We find in this volume the famous instance in which the young Spurgeon encountered his call from God. When Spurgeon was aged fifteen, a violent snowstorm forced him from his route into a Methodist church where he felt the Lord beckon him to service. After this, he undertook parochial study with great fervor, and quickly became a respected teacher in his local Sunday School, gaining the nickname 'the boy-preacher of the Fens'.

In 'John Ploughman's Talk' I have tried to talk for ploughmen and common people. Hence refined taste and dainty words have been discarded for strong old proverbial expressions and homely phrases. I have aimed my blows at the vices of the many, and tried to inculcate those moral virtues without which men are degraded and miserable. Much that needs be said to the toiling masses would not suit well the pulpit and the Sabbath; these lowly pages may teach thrift and industry all the days of the week, in the cottage and the workshop: and if some learn these lessons I shall not repent the adoption of the rustic style. --from the Preface

Before delivering a sermon, C. H. Spurgeon read a portion of Scripture, interrupting his readings with spontaneous comments to expose the Scripture's meaning and content. Although these Expositions were transcribed and mingled with his sermon publications, they have never been published as a work to themselves. A complete compilation of his expositions are here published in three volumes entitled C. H. Spurgeon's Expositions. While not every scripture of the Bible was covered in his expositions, the result is a 'virtual' concise Bible commentary. Volume three contains his expositions from John through Revelation.Spurgeon's expositions show a spontaneity of thought, and have a rhythmic presentation which his written sermons do not contain. President James A. Garfield described them as ""familiar and sensible."" They are also profound, demonstrating his burning desire and urgency to comfort God's people in declaring the Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Over the last 120 years this book has helped countless people come to know the Lord. Many have found it has helped them untangle the problems that prevented them trusting Christ and turning to him in true repentance. Spurgeon's deep pastoral experience of the difficulties seekers encounter, enabled him to address numerous obstacles on the pathway to faith. It is for those, both young and old, who have been challenged by the Gospel and yet have not found themselves able to yield to Christ. As Spurgeon wrote when he launched this treasure trove of spiritual help - 'My reader, if God blesses this book to you, do the writer this favour - either lend your own copy to someone else who is lingering at the gate, or buy another and give it away; for his great desire is that this book should be of help to many thousands of souls.'

"TULIP" is an acronym for the following Biblical beliefs: T = Total Depravity U = Unconditional Election L = Limited Atonement I = Irresistible Grace P = Perseverance of the Saints These beliefs are also known as The Doctrines of Grace, or The Five Points of Calvinism. God's Sovereignty is seen throughout these five sermons. Our point of praise is not the book, nor the preacher, but on God Himself. Our objective is to glorify God. Many verses in Scripture confirm these doctrines, but here you are asked to take a lingering view of them, to meditate upon them and to enjoy the majesty that belongs to God alone. Christ's beauty was the subject of a previously published book by this author entitled He Is Altogether Lovely. God's marvelous grace is the theme of this book. Herein you will find heavenly comfort and encouragement. Available at your favorite online bookstore
