While known mostly for his preaching and biblical expository writings, C. H. Spurgeon wrote two volumes entitled John Ploughman’s Talk and John Ploughman’s Pictures which became an instant hit, with sales of these two volumes exceeding 600,000 in his own lifetime. In homes all over Great Britain, Spurgeon’s practical wisdom on subjects such as alcohol, debt, anger, temptation, cruelty, and the family home were heeded and cherished.

So, this fine edition has been entitled Spurgeon’s Practical Wisdom and includes all of the illustrations from those original two volumes. It will surely enrich many a Christian home with the wit, wisdom, and even skillful humor which Spurgeon was so known for.
