This is a very interesting Bible resource published by Attic Books, a division of New Leaf Press. It is a collection of sermons from Charles Spurgeon from 1859-1860. The sermons are written in modern language, but they are unabridged and presented in their entirety.
I don’t know that I’ve ever read any of Spurgeon’s complete sermons. These were written with the Scripture passage at the top and the main points given in a numbered outline form. That made it easy to read for my organized brain.
I also liked that on this Kindle version, the sermons are listed and are easy to get to with one click (or touch). That made it really easy to choose a sermon topic to read. I think this is what will really make this a good Bible resource.
The sermons are long. And even in modern language, I think they would be difficult reading for all but the well-read high schooler. The outline form does help to put the thoughts into a coherent form.
There are 112 sermons here. It is quite the lengthy book. I can’t imagine sitting down and reading it straight through. For my purpose, I would use the book as a reference. Because it is listed by topic/title, I can envision assigning a student a reading that was applicable to a specific topic of study.
This is a great reference book to have available for home and school.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher for review purposes. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.
