A very rare 1882 1st edition copy of C. The book is in very good condition with clean boards and page block and tightly bound pages. The title on the spine has faded but can still be seen. There is the usual edgewear to the boards and age toning to the pages and an inscription on the inside of the front board (see photos).
Overall a very nice copy of a very rare (no others online) book. Please check the photos to see overall condition. When one looks at many sermons preached in the Scripture, especially by the Lord Jesus Himself, it cannot be avoided that those sermons used much of the agricultural metaphors and imagery. In fact, the Bible speaks much about spiritual things by using farm and common life language.Think about Jesus's parables of the sowing and harvesting. In that same way, Charles Spurgeon, the prince of preachers, used farm language in his own sermons, which made them plain and clear to any of his many hearers.
This book, originally published in 1882, includes 19 messages inspired by Bible passages on farming and life on a farm that would definitely be a source of joy and growth in Christ for any Christian.
