I went through this same edition of Morning and Evening a few years ago. Your observations on Charles Haddon Spurgeon's sermonette style are excellent!
I have my family read this everyday! When I introduced it to my husband and my children, they were like who's Charles Spurgeon? but we all ended up liking it!
I know I have a copy of this book in one of my many stacks of books. Gotta find my copy. Wrapping up a devotional. This will be a good one to start up with next. Thank you
Thank you. I appreciate the note that Spurgeon heads straight to Christ from any passage. That might be to keep it short to fit the format, but I think I would find the lack of context frustrating. Your example from Song of Songs was a perfect case in point. This review is very helpful.
Love your reviews Pastor Matt. Do you have "Daily Light on the Daily Path" by Jonathan and Samuel Bagster? It's one of my favorite devotionals. There are several good editions out there. Crossway publishes some nice ones in the ESV while TBS has the nicest in the KJV.
Looks like that same publisher also has editions of M&E with a blue imitation leather cover (mountains on the cover, instead of the stalks of grain). And, with both covers, there's KJV and NIV versions (assuming for the Bible passages). Don't know if the blue-cover versions have gilt pages or the ribbon, or the Smyth-sewn binding; then again, neither does the tan-cover ones (both mention "stamped binding" on the slipcover, so . . . ) Just ordered the blue-cover KJV M&E (more because it'd be most "authentic" to Spurgeon's original, even though I've never read the KJV; nearing completion of my FIRST readthrough with the ESV). Already planning on this for 2022 (one New Year's Resolution I aim to keep).
Great Review my friend. I have really enjoyed finding you on RUclips. Just a quick question on Devotionals, have you ever taken a look at Oswald Chambers, "My Utmost for His Highest", if you have where does it fall between Daily Bread vs. Spurgeons?
Does this retain the A.V. (K.J.V.) quotations? I strongly dislike editions that switch such readings to the N.I.V., E.S.V., or to some other translation.

I have just started to use this book for my daily devotional reading this year. Great start to 2019

Thank you for your review, just placed my order.
