JOY UPON JOY PB

This advent devotional allows hassled Christians to daily redeem the busiest month of the year using seasonal reflections by the 'Prince of Preachers', Charles Spurgeon. In the classic style of Spurgeon's 'Morning and Evening', each of the twenty-eight days contains a brief morning and evening devotional that begins with a Scripture and follows with a selection from Spurgeon's advent-themed sermons.

This all-new compilation of Spurgeon's works reflect the four advent weeks of waiting, hope, anticipation, and celebration. Each day also includes space for journaling and reflection. Experience the delight of loving December once again, and prepare for the celebration of Christ's birth alongside Spurgeon's thought-provoking words.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892), the 'Prince of Preachers', preached his first sermon at age sixteen and became a pastor at age eighteen. Spurgeon drew large crowds and built the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London in 1861 to accommodate them. He published over two thousand sermons; his inspiring and challenging messages comprise the largest collection of work by a single author. Spurgeon preached to an estimated ten million people during his lifetime, including notables such as the prime minister of England, members of the royal family, and Florence Nightingale. He appealed constantly to his hearers to move on in the Christian faith, to allow the Lord to minister to them individually, and to be used of God to win the lost to Christ. In addition to his powerful preaching, Spurgeon founded and supported charitable outreaches, including educational institutions. His pastors' college, which is still in existence today, taught nearly nine hundred students in Spurgeon's time. He also founded the famous Stockwell Orphanage.
