About this book
Lectures to My Students · First Series (1875)
Classic lectures by Charles H. Spurgeon offering practical and spiritual guidance for Christian ministers, preachers, pastors, and students of Scripture.
Delivered as addresses to students of the Pastors' College, Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, and first published in 1875, this First Series of thirteen lectures covers the minister's inner life and watchfulness, the call to the ministry, private and public prayer, the matter and choice of sermon texts, the perils of over-spiritualizing Scripture, care of the voice, pulpit attention, extemporaneous speech, seasons of depression, everyday conversation, and study without a well-stocked library.
Text of the First Series (1875) transcribed from the public-domain edition hosted at gracegems.org, itself drawn from the original Passmore & Alabaster publication. Charles Haddon Spurgeon died in 1892; this work is in the public domain.
