THERE ARE MANY parts of the world where English is spoken, yet 17th century Puritan English through 19th century Victorian English is not as easily understood by those who would benefit tremendously from many of the anointed works of the Puritan and post-Puritan ministers; men such as Mr. Spurgeon. Even in America today, one may run across several Christians that can quote a line or two from Mr. Spurgeon, yet because the language of yester-year is quite removed from our contemporary minds, so very few have really read his works. Perhaps this volume will stimulate an interest among those who were previously not as familiar with Mr. Spurgeon's writings and sermons, that they, too, might grow in grace from the passion of a man that grew in grace by the glorious truth of Christ, and Him crucified.
