"If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, error will be; if God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendancy; if the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will; if the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of the land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness, will reign without mitigation or end."

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
A Spurgeon v^ork that sparkles with humor — to be enjoyed by people of all ages.
Spurgeon's success as a great preacher was generated in part from his intense love and concern for "working people." He himself says. "In John Ploughman's Talks I have written for . . . common people."
The topics and brief chapters are homespun, reflecting the London preacher's keen wit. "That I have written in a semi-humorous vein needs no apology," continues Spurgeon,
"since thereby sound moral teaching has gained a hearing____
There is no particular virtue in being seriously unreadable."
In these chapters, Spurgeon reflects on idleness, grumbling, appearance, firmness, patience, gossiping, opportunities, faults, debt, home, men who are down, hope, spending, wives, two-faced people, how to thrive, things 1 would not choose, and monuments. Vissza
