Secure in the Everlasting Arms

Spurgeon’s Prayers
By Charles Spurgeon / Christian Focus Public

In these prayers of Spurgeon you can glimpse the concerns that he had, his knowledge of the Bible and his understanding of human needs. Although the prayers were not intended by Spurgeon as a pattern or example, nevertheless you can learn a lot about how to pray from studying the structure and contents of these short concise prayers.
The Journals of Jim Elliot
The Journals of Jim Elliot
By Jim Elliot / Baker
Jim Elliot was part of a team of young missionaries murdered in Ecuador in 1956 by the Auca Indians to whom they were witnessing. At the age of 29, he left behind a young widow, a baby daughter, and volumes of personal journals written over many years. In 1978, Revell published the complete and unabridged journals, edited by his widow, Elisabeth, and the journals have stayed in print ever since. And it’s no wonder–Jim Elliot was an intelligent thinker and strong writer in these personal, yet universal, musings about faith, work, and love. This book is a wonderful account of the life of a man who yearns to know God’s plan for his life, details his fascinating missions work, and loves Elisabeth–first as a single man, then as a happily married one. This book will intrigue fans of Jim and Elisabeth Elliot, readers interested in missions, and young people struggling to find God’s plan for their lives.

Kindled Fire: How the Methods of C H Spurgeon Can Help Your Preaching
Kindled Fire: How the Methods of C H Spurgeon Can Help Your Preaching
By Zack Eswine / Christian Focus Public
What would it have been like to sit in Spurgeon’s classes? This book gives a sense of what a student would hear Spurgeon say about preaching if Spurgeon were to speak with them in the hall, from the pulpit, or on a walk down the streets of London. Thus, this book enables preachers to “apprentace” with Spurgeon for a season in order to learn about preaching. Such an internship will help you mine resources for gospel relevance and power in the twenty-first century. Such debates as the use of art, sermon length, the attention span of the audience, are just some of the topics you’ll hear the Prince of Preachers expound as only he can.

Spurgeon’s Daily Treasury from the Psalms
Spurgeon’s Daily Treasury from the Psalms
By Charles Spurgeon, edited by Robert Backhouse / Crossway Books
The Psalms express the full range of human emotions and needs like no other Bible book. From the discouragement and fear we encounter in this life to the longing and adoration of God, we so easily connect with these prayers and praises. It is easy to understand why the Psalms are the most read–and often most treasured–part of the Old Testament. Charles Spurgeon spent 20 years pondering the spiritual breadth and depth of the Psalms and compiling a seven-volume exposition. Now his comments are part of a devotional that breaks the 150 Psalms into 365 daily readings. Besides Spurgeon’s words of wisdom, each devotional has a highlighted thought and suggested verses to meditate on. The spiritual life of any believer will be enriched y these reflective writings from one of Christianity’s beloved preachers.
