Morning and Evening is a fantastic devotional for the heart of every believer. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to begin and end their day with spiritual encouragement and instruction. Spurgeon, the "prince of preachers" delivers his depth and love for Christ.

This is an excellent devotional that has many nuggets of wisdom inside. It will encourage your heart daily!
What a beautiful book and encouraging twice a day. Great for us with ADD who feel like every day is 2 days long. I adore this old language; I couldn't figure out why it speaks to me so much more. Finally I realized-- this book is written in second person. Someone is speaking to "you." Who doesn't need direct encouragement. I do. I think my husband found this book at one of the old Messiah College Library sales-- a bit of Avalon on earth for book lovers; appearing once a year and then dissappeari...more
This is an edited version of Spurgeon’s devotions from the 1800′s. A classic loved by scholars and laymen, it’s one of those devotions that can be used over and over again. And how you use it depends on how much personal devotion time you have carved out of the day for yourself.
To get the full Spurgeon effect, your dose for the day would be reading a page-long devotion in the morning, another one in the evening, memorizing one Bible text, and reading a significant portion of the Bible (towards t...more

One could never go wrong with Charles Spurgeon, a prolific author and pastor who lived from 1834-1892, "Mornings & Evenings" is a 768, softbound, 5.5 x 8.5, book that opens flat, to help one start each morning, with a personal devotional time.
What I enjoy the most, about reading this book, isn't just the fact about reading the thoughts and encouragement of Mr. Spurgeon, but the encouragement he provided by a choice of either focusing on a passage or doing a quick study in a book of the bible...more

This book isn't for everybody, but if you've read quite a bit of the Bible and like beautiful language and thoughts, you might give it a try. Here is the morning reading for December 29 as a sample:
“Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.”
1 Samuel 7:12
The word “hitherto” seems like a hand pointing in the direction of the past. Twenty years or seventy, and yet, “hitherto the Lord hath helped!” Through poverty, through wealth, through sickness, through health, at home, abroad, on the land, on the sea, i...more

I don’t know how you spend your mornings and evenings, but I’m adding Charles Spurgeon to my daily Bible reading and Oswald Chambers morsel.
David Platt’s book, “Radical,” gives several challenges at the end. One of those challenges is to read the Bible through in the coming year. While I have read the Bible through several times, I loved the idea of reading it through this year with the expectancy that God will reveal new things.

This devotional offers short but powerful insights into the Word of God. Especially during those times when it seems like my own connection with the Word is running dry, this has really helped to pick me up and bring me to a place of repentance and restoration to God's grace and the joy of salvation.
my current daily devotional
old-fashioned in a good way -- Christ-centered, passionate about Jesus, focused on how Jesus fulfills what may seem to be minor passages of Scripture. It encourages gratitude and devotion to Jesus.
Spurgeon is a beautiful writer, too -- poetic language and imagery.

It always amazes me- the grace of God pulling me bak to renew my mind with His perspective. I always experience this while meditating on the passages of scripture spurgeon walks through within this daily devotional. An exceptional read that can be picked up anytime with fruitful results!
This challenging devotional book gives Spurgeon's reaction to verses. His practical application of biblical principles to a believer's daily walk encourages and builds faith in Jesus, THE Saviour and his desire to be involved in our lives. I'm still reading this...every morning and evening!

This devotional is one of the most encouraging, thought-provoking pieces of literature I've ever read. Not only did Charles Spurgeon have magnificent side burns, he had a tremendous heart and way with words and spiritual encouragement. Read it, you won't be disappointed!
This book gives a devotional reading expounding a Scripture verse for each morning and evening of the year. Spurgeon is always inspiring, and many people consider this the best devotional work of its type. Reading it is certainly a help to any Christian's day.
Devotions are good! But remember to devote every moment of every day to God, not just the 20 minutes it takes to read a devotion..
But is is always good to start and end your day immediately with prayer and devotion, which is why I read this book.

Spurgeon can pack theological and devotional food for though tighter than I have seen anyone do it, and he communicates so clearly yet so passionately, that one cannot read a devotion penned by this great preacher and come away unmoved within his soul. The best devotion ever, period.
I've been an avid devotee of Spurgeon's Morning and Evening in book form for many years. How fabulous it is now to pop right onto the e-book version with my tablet - I can tote his scriptural encouragements and gentle reminders anywhere!
Spurgeon is the master wordsmith. Every Christian ought to read through this devotional at least once in their lifetime. And if you read it once, I guarantee, you'll pick it up again!
Through college I read one of these most mornings and some evenings. It really helped keep me focused on what really matters in life. Well written and thought-provoking.
I have read and reread this wonderful devotional for many years. I highly recommend Morning and Evening by Charles H. Spurgeon or any of his books for that matter!

I LOVE his "flowery" speech! This is my all time favorite devotional book. I've read it through over and over and will continue to for the rest of my life.
One can never get enough of Charles Spurgeons writings!First read many years ago, but is always fresh and relative, all things based on God's word are!

I really like this!!! I hve a hardcopy here at home and the electronic version on my iPod to take with me wherever I go!
This is one of the best devotional books ever. It is very useful when seeking to establish regular prayer and reading times.
Allister Begg has done a great service by updating this incredible classic devotional I read regularly.
I've met with Mr. Spurgeon almost every morning and evening for five years now and I can't tell you where I'd be without this grace-filled devotional.
Great read! I keep going back to this every now and then because it keeps me inspired.
I love the writings of this man of God. Eternal, refreshing and just beautiful!
This is a daily devotional. Learning through its daily reads never ceases.
Great short devotionals that keep your focus where it belongs. On Jesus.
Read this in college as a devotional. Lots of wisdom packed into this book!

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey M...more

“If you will tell me when God permits a Christian to lay aside his armour, I will tell you when Satan has left off temptation. Like the old knights in war time, we must sleep with helmet and breastplate buckled on, for the arch-deceiver will seize our first unguarded hour to make us his prey. The Lord keep us watchful in all seasons, and give us a final escape from the jaw of the lion and the paw of the bear.”

“When we reach the hilltops of heaven, and look back upon all the way whereby the Lord our God hath led us, how shall we praise Him who, before the eternal throne, undid the mischief which Satan was doing upon earth. How shall we thank Him because He never held His peace, but day and night pointed to the wounds upon His hands, and carried our names upon His breastplate!”
