Top Highlights
“Prayer is not so heavenly an exercise as praise; prayer is for time, but praise is for eternity.” (Page 288)
“He does for the dahlia what he does not for the sunflower; something is wanted by the rose that is not required by the lily and the geranium calls for an attention which is not given to the honeysuckle.” (Page 372)
“I will work on anything practical, but I will not break my heart over fancies.” (Page 339)
“When a man lives near to God, and abides in him, he should shake off the folly of superstition, and talk no more of holy places. God himself, his own presence, makes a place of worship.” (Page 13)
“Baptism shows us that participation in Christ’s suffering by which we begin to live; the Lord’s Supper shows us that participation in Christ’s suffering by which that life is sustained.” (Page 192)
It is a testament to the enduring words that Spurgeon preached that his work has now provided material for the sixth volume in this series. He preaches an eternal and unchanging God consistently and wisely, and readers familiar with the format of the exposition of a text and a meditation for the day will welcome its publication. I found the Scripture reference for each day being quoted from the King James Version as very appropriate in a day of alternatives and hope that this will find a place on many bookshelves and many more bedside tables as part of daily devotions.

This brings to a conclusion 6 years of daily devotions with Spurgeon, and it has been very worthwhile. This 6th and final volume maintains the standard of the previous volumes, and Crosby does a good job, especially with his occasional comments and insights. Whilst this is a highly recommended devotional to Baptists everywhere, I would point out that as a Lutheran Pastor I thoroughly enjoyed them (though should admit I was for many years a Reformed Baptist).
