Gleanings Among the Sheaves

This spiritual text by Spurgeon contains more than one hundred meditations and short ruminations on various topics, including prayer, beauty, poverty, faith, and doubt. In addition, he writes with incredible detail on religion as a personal matter. Some of these introspections are brief, and others are longer, but all result from extended thought and consideration.



It is one of Spurgeon's earliest publications that represented his deep understanding of the gospel. The short holy quotations from his sermons and lectures provide Christians with faith-building inspiration and aspiration. These devotional messages demonstrate Spurgeon's eloquence combined with his friendly and colorful personal style.
