Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
For over one hundred years, Christians have gotten up and gone to bed with Charles Spurgeon's devotional Morning and Evening as a companion. With a reading to begin and end each day throughout the year, you will come to appreciate Spurgeon's emphasis on the importance of abiding in Christ and meditating on God's Word. His wisdom and counsel provide a timeless guide through the trials and triumphs of the year. The richness of his biblical understanding offers readers a look into the heart of one of England's foremost pastors and enduring Christian authors.

His lasting message is even more accessible with Alistair Begg's careful modernizing of Spurgeon's English. Begg, who has a deep love for Spurgeon's preaching and especially for this work, has maintained Spurgeon's clear passion and commitment to Christ. Using the English Standard Version as the scriptural text provides an accurate, understandable accompaniment to Spurgeon's lessons.


My Review:
Morning and Evening is a year-long devotional with a devotion provided for both the morning and the evening of each day. The wording has been updated so that the English is easy to understand. Each devotion started with a verse from the Bible and then had Spurgeon's comments on it or on a related topic. I found a few of the devotions to be insightful, some were interesting, and some seemed to be more of historical interest (as none of the churches I've attended have quite so literally interpreted the Song of Solomon as between the church and God). The devotions were short, so it didn't take long to read (or listen to, in this case, as it was an audiobook) each devotion.


If you've read this book, what do you think about it? I'd be honored if you wrote your own opinion of the book in the comments.
