Spurgeon said that "Metaphors often convey to the mind truth which otherwise would not have reached understanding. ... even if they be not understood at first, they excite thought." The Spurgeon Birthday Book was organized by Spurgeon himself to lay before his readers a challenging yet insightful and often encouraging word. Read one each day or read all of them in an afternoon. Either way, Birthday Book will help you grow in your walk with Christ. Note from the publisher: certain words and phrases have been updated to provide a more modern reading experience.
