Only fear the Lord and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you. – 1 Samuel 12:24
If there is a true faith, there must be a declaration of it. If you are a candle, and God has lit you, then let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in the heavens (Matthew 5:16). Soldiers of Christ must, like soldiers of our nation, wear their uniforms; and if they are ashamed of their uniforms, they ought to be drummed out of the army.
I believe that many Christians get into a lot of trouble by not being honest in their convictions. For instance, if a person goes into a workshop, or a soldier into a barracks, and if he does not fly his flag from the beginning, it will be very difficult for him to run it up afterwards. But if he immediately and boldly lets them know, “I am a Christian, and there are certain things that I cannot do to please you, and certain other things that I cannot help doing even though they might displease you” – when that is clearly understood, after a while the peculiarity of the thing will be gone, and the person will be let alone.
However, if he is a little dishonest and thinks that he is going to please the world and please Christ too, he can depend on it that he is in for a rough time. If he tries the way of compromise, his life will be like that of a toad under a harrow or a fox in a dog kennel. That will never do. Come out. Show your colors. Let it be known who you are and what you are. Although your course will not be smooth, it will certainly not be half as rough as if you tried to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds, which is a very difficult piece of business.

A Straightforward Book
I have never read a book filled with so much honesty in a person’s everyday life. Learning about how we should live what it is like to live as a Christian and some of the challenges we face in everyday society. If this book offends you in certain parts it is doing its job. However, it has also had me shouting Amen, Glory to God. Charles a well-known writer and famous preacher of his time really knew how to connect with people in this book. I am looking forward to review more of his work. I would recommend this book to every Christian as it gives many fundamental aspects on what a firm foundation in Christ should look like.

Great read.
Charles Spurgeon’s works are always uplifting and convicting. His writings are just as relevant today as they were when he preached and wrote them. He preached unapologetically.

Every Christian needs to read this book.
I love the way this book is written. I used this book as a devotional since every chapter is confrontional and requires deep meditation. You need to read it.

The Prince of Preachers
This is a great book, but in order to get the natural feel of C H Spurgeon, you must read the 63 Vol set of sermons, THE NEW PARK STREET PULPIT & THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE PULPIT published by Pilgrim Publishing, if you can find them. It is beyond me why the publishers have a need to update words and edit these sermons as if we are too stupid to understand. Pilgrim didn’t do this, they photocopied these sermons just as they were printed in Spurgeon’s day. Amazon did sell the entire set on Kindle, but for some reason, I am now only able to find Vol 1-15. What a treasure if they would sell the whole set, and a great service for those with problems with their eyes and who can’t read print.

Pithy devotion.
I was surprised by how creative Spurgeon was. Many of the chapters are very thought provoking. They allowed me to see some topics from a different angle.

great book
Highly recommend as this book was an eye opener in my life. Really made me think about what is truly important.

6 stars. He does an interesting thing when writing, 300 years later
What? I find most interesting about Ho Spurgeon preaches. Is that even in his book writing? He does this very strange thing where he can tell you a point insight. A question to be formed in your mind and as you’re either arguing with the point or looking for Bible verses. Are supportive? The next page has the answers and they are biblical in schedule. It is a very.Powerful writing style showing that he thinks through what his com his readers will be thinking. Common, but also that he had a close relationship with the word of God period powerful book and I think that every Christian should read this.

Spiritually edifying book
GWVS –
This book will help you realize that being faithful to Jesus Christ is not something “you” do; no, it is simply allowing His Spirit to live in you. Good book that shows that this has not changed this principle since time began.

Charles Spurgeon, the Crown Prince of Preachers, is timeless
Alastair –
This is the first Spurgeon book I’ve read, and it was convicting, encouraging and Biblical all in one! It’s sad that this kind of preaching is actually rare in today’s Christianity. This book really covers all topics and would be very helpful for every Christian to read.
