Draw closer to the throne of grace with these twelve classic sermons from the "Prince of Preachers." Working from the simplest of texts, Spurgeon mines spiritual riches on prayer.

Combining a keen intellect, a passion for Scripture, and a zeal to make Christ known, these sermons are as timeless as their topics. Book jacket.

How can we find our way through the complexities of life in the twenty-first century? Many Christians are familiar with the pointed directives of the Ten Commandments, and many will regularly read Proverbs for bite-sized pieces of God's wisdom. When we study Proverbs within the framework of the Ten Commandments, we hear both parts of God's Word speaking in ways that are refreshingly practical and eminently memorable. Wise shows how these ancient words relate to such diverse areas of life as worship and prayer, our words and money, marriage and sexuality, and our fears, loves, and desires. This book will instruct and encourage with the wisdom that comes from fearing God.
