(U) John Ploughman’s Talk (Charles Spurgeon)
$18.50$22.00
A book very different than any of Charles Spurgeon’s theological writings, which makes it even more special. It’s a book that cuts to the chase with his witty yet straightforward discourse on personal issues that were relevant back then and continue to demand attention today.
It appears that, where formal sermons may have fallen on deaf ears, then Spurgeon personalizes himself as farmer “John Ploughman”. He takes to the streets in the common language of the people and lays bare the issues of man in his no-nonsense style. Highly recommended reading for Family Devotions!

C. H. Spurgeon was one of the most widely published ministers of the Victorian era. Sales of his books run into many millions. He had a gift for speaking the language of the man-in-the street and presenting Christian truth in a way that captured the imagination.
Two of his publications of this type are here combined into one volume. Both are funny, pointed and profound in their content. They give answers to the common questions of the day on doctrine and behavior as explained by a ploughman to his wayward audience.
