365 Days with Spurgeon, vol. 3
Overview
A book of 365 daily devotional readings taken from Charles Haddon Spurgeon's sermons from the Metropolitan Tabernacle. These have been carefully selected. Because Spurgeon treated every occasion as a unique opportunity for evangelism, an outstanding feature of these extracts is the diversity of the subjects covered and their relevance to contemporary Christians.

“Union with Christ makes you live; keep up your enjoyment of that union, that you may clearly perceive and enjoy your life. Begin this year with the prayer, ‘Nearer to thee, my Lord, nearer to thee.’ Think much of the spiritual life and less of this poor carnal life, which will so soon be over. Go to the source of life for an increase of spiritual life. Go to Jesus. Think of him more than you have done, pray to him more; use his name more believingly in your supplications. Serve him better, and seek to grow up into his likeness in all things. Make an advance this year. Life is a growing thing. Your life only grows by getting nearer to Christ.” (Page 8)
“O Lord, thou art that sea of love; thy mercies are thy waves of lovingkindness; let them come up and flood my soul; with infinite power of love, rise and cover all my nature. I hope the Lord will deal so with all of you. Never rest until you enjoy this love and, when you do enjoy it, keep it. If you find my Beloved, hold him and do not let him go.” (Page 132)
“When there is most money in the house, then is the likeliest time for thieves to break in; and when there is most grace in the soul, the devil will try, if he can, to assault it.” (Page 81)
“Bad times are famous times for Christ. When Wycliffe came, the times were dark enough in England, and therefore the morning star was the more welcome. When Luther came into the world, the times were almost as black as they could be and therefore good times for reformation! The times were dead enough when Wesley and Whitefield came: but they proved glorious days for the Lord to work in!” (Page 293)

Another year well spent with a daily dose of Spurgeon. Crosby does a fine job as editor, and his brief comment following the Spurgeon passage are appreciated. A good supplement to a Christian's Daily Devotional time.
