I never stop enjoying Spurgeon; I am sure because Roger you are putting his words in vernacular that makes sense today.
I am really appreciating the updated version of Spurgeon's Devotional Bible, I have read Morning and Evening by Spurgeon and found it uplifting and often convicting. The same is true with what I have read in the Devotional Bible. I am thankful it is easy to read and yet the depth of Spurgeon is not lost. I also like that there is more scripture included in this daily devotional than in any other that I have read.Thank you for making this available to the general reader and sending it to me every day.
Thank you for all the work you have put into bringing Spurgeon's words to 2015. You have captured Spurgeon and have made it easily readable. Well done!

Thank you for this wonderful resource. I have read Morning and Evening for years, and had not heard of this work until this year. The updated language makes it an easy read, and I appreciate that it is not over done. I expect to use it for years to come.
Job 23 March 6, 2015. Thank you so much for your comments...they are of value to repeat and put in writing again....
" even at his lowest point the good man knows hus true safety is in the Lord. Sinners turn from God in anger yet saints fly to Him in hope. Yet sometimes the Lord is a God who hides himself. When He does this, He has wise results to accomplish He will tarry no longer than absolutely necessary. Job explains his trials by pointing out that God's ways are both unchangeable and unknowable. He suggests that many of his troubles might revisit him and for which he might also be unable to find a reason. Great suffering could not kill his faith but reduced his joy, he understood an absolute Gid could do what he wanted. Its no wonder he was troubled at the thought. Only when we see Jesus do we see Gods love. Thank you thank you thank you....for your insight and these wonderful words of daily encouragement.

I'm enjoying these Spurgeon commentaries. I read them every day as part of my devotional reading. Thank you for doing this.
Congratulations on a work well done.
Congratulations on a work well done.
This is my first introduction to Spurgeon. I really like how he intersperses commentary that brings more meaning and interpretation to the Word. Thank you for putting Spurgeon's old language into modern vernacular that can be understood by every reader today.

A beautiful reading! I love the pastoral notes here. These are of incredible value and I can see why you've chosen your work. Thank you for this. I just read your post for August 17th, and was thrilled to read the passage where David plays the lyre for the tormented Saul. It will always mystify me how Saul turned to David for comfort, and therefore, the Holy Spirit for comfort, despite his dark and jealous situation. It makes me grieve for Saul, and yet then I think of the passages you included before this about being careful to trust God's judgement. What a rich text and translation here. Looking forward to reading more!
