Charles Spurgeon’s Morning & Evening (EVERYDAY ENGLISH)

Charles Haddon Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening has guided countless Christians through life’s challenges for over a century. This updated edition preserves Spurgeon’s eloquent prose and the beauty of the King James Version while enhancing accessibility with a topical index, an index of Bible verses, and a streamlined two-page format for each daily devotion. With 732 meditations covering every book of the Bible, Spurgeon’s timeless wisdom continues to inspire faith and obedience in new generations.

The first ‘Christian gift’ I was ever given was a paperback devotional, Morning and Evening, by C.H. Spurgeon.

One day, it was November 7th, I read, “Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands.” — Isaiah 49:16. It was a wonderful awakening! In that moment, I knew that I was not a nameless individual amongst many billions of other Christians. If I pried open God’s hand, I would find my name, David Harrison, engraved on both His palms.

In my retirement, I have taken up writing. Some books are of my own initiative, and other projects have been rewriting Christian classics into everyday English, such as this one, to make them more readable for the present generation. That is what I have attempted here with this classic book of daily devotions. I hope I have done Charles Spurgeon justice.

Spurgeon quoted Scripture from the King James Bible. I have left this mostly intact as it lends a certain ‘poetic romance’ to Spurgeon’s writings. Where I have deviated from this norm, it is so noted.

Be encouraged—every morning and evening!
