About this ebook

"The solemn work of Christian ministry demands a man’s all, and that all should be at its best. To engage in ministry halfheartedly is an insult to God and man. Sleep must leave our eyelids before men are allowed to perish. Yet we are all prone to sleep, and students, among the rest, are apt to act the part of the foolish virgins. Therefore, I have sought to speak out my whole soul in the hope that I might not create or foster any dullness in others, and to this end, my lectures are colloquial, familiar, full of anecdote, and often humorous. May He, in whose hand are the churches and their pastors, bless these words to younger brethren in the ministry, and if so, I will count it more than a full reward and will gratefully praise the Lord."

- Charles H. Spurgeon

Ratings and reviews

well, these 3 volumes not that systematic for these are sermons, but we ought to learn many things from the author as a legendary preacher. this book more on the art of preaching, and specifically on the used of anecdotes. the anecdotes maybe seems old enough, but some also an interesting one to be come back alive again in this modern times.

Excellent Book!!
