Devotional Thoughts On The Bible: Matthew & Mark by C H Spurgeon and published by Evangelical Press.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the nineteenth-century English preacher, gave an exposition of the portion of Scripture he was to preach on, as he was reading it in the service. This compilation by Larry Brown is of those 'expositions' from Matthew and Mark, which are heart-warming and practical applications of Scripture. These can be used as a daily devotional but will also be of use to the sermon preparer. Spurgeon was a man whose whole being seem infused with the Word of God.
He possessed a deep passion for men and women to know God - and then to keep growing in their knowledge of him. To this end, he worked tirelessly to advance and defend the truths of Scripture and to present the excellencies of his Saviour. The exceptional breadth of his ministry and its lasting influence, even on modern-day evangelicals, is remarkable.
These readings were often 'mini-sermons' in themselves. Devotional thoughts on the Bible enables the reader to advance through the main themes of a book of the Bible in a relatively short time as Spurgeon masterfully probes both the text and the reader. This book on Matthew and Mark forms the second volume of a new Spurgeon series from Evangelical Press called Devotional thoughts on the Bible. May Spurgeon's theological insight and wisdom continue to bless and stir the hearts of Christians in this generation.
