Charles Haddon (C. H.) Spurgeon was one of England’s most popular preachers during the second half of the nineteenth century. He was born in Essex in 1834 and came to Christ when he was fifteen. At nineteen, he became the pastor at London’s famed New Park Street Chapel, later called the Metropolitan Tabernacle. He would serve as pastor there for thirty-eight years.
During his years of ministry, Spurgeon added thousands of new members to his church, had thousands of sermons published, and helped establish dozens of churches in the greater London area. His reach was immeasurable during this time, and he was often referred to as the “Prince of Preachers.” He died at the age of fifty-seven.
Spurgeon published many books, including a morning devotional in 1865 called Morning by Morning and an evening devotional in 1868 called Evening by Evening. For over a hundred years, Christians have begun and ended their days with these devotional classics.
In 2003, Alistair Begg updated these devotionals to modern-day English while preserving the dignity and clarity of Spurgeon’s original words.
