Excellent Update of a Devotional Classic
Alistair Begg, pastor (Parkside Church in Cleveland, Ohio), author, and speaker, has done a magnificent job in updating this devotional classic. Begg's updates enable a wider audience to enjoy and be nourished by Spurgeon's timeless writing. Although this devotional (in its unrevised version) can be accessed daily on multiple websites, I have found myself to be more consistent in my reading when I hold a hard copy in my hands.

Spurgeon's pastoral warmth and thirst for evangelism come through strongly in these short devotionals. His focus on all three members of the Trinity is excellent as he beckons us further in serving Christ. I have also found his connection with the individual reader to be outstanding as he instructs and motivates toward change and action.

Granted, some of Spurgeon's interpretation may be dated (for instance, he interprets Song of Solomon as an allegory between Christ and the Church). However, this clearly is the minority, and the timeless nature of his topics far outweigh any problem this poses.

I have used this devotional off and on for many months now, and have many friends who have also been encouraged by their reading of it.

This 2003 edition is based on the English Standard Version (ESV), a recent translation respected for its readability and faithfulness to the text. Among the many Christian leaders who endorse the ESV are J.I. Packer (Regent College), Chuck Colson (Prison Fellowship Ministries), John Piper (Bethlehem Baptist Church), and R.C. Sproul (Ligonier Ministries).

Spurgeon Wants You To Know His God
Charles Spurgeon was never too busy to consider the common people of his congregation during his day. In his majisterial "Treasury of David" commentary on Psalms, he included a "Notes for the Village Preacher" at the end of every study. In his "Lectures to my Students", we find him exhorting his students not to "over-preach" lest the widowed mother of seven children in the congregation will miss out the simple, wonderful message of God's lovingkindness. Here, in "Morning & Evening", we find a Spurgeon who speaks directly to the common Christians who long for a closer walk with God.

Wonderful, thought-provoking readings
Spurgeon is the best! I never fail to find something to stir my heart in this book. I can't count the number of times the morning's entry has been just exactly what I needed to hear on that particular day. The readings are short, only about one page each, but rich and full of depth, providing insights that keep me thinking about my Lord and Savior throughout the day.
