The printing sold out in a very short time. I have plans to reprint that book again soon. The success of that book has had much to do with my undertaking this new reprint of some of Spurgeon's sermons on comfort and encouragement. It is especially suitable for persons who struggle with depression. Spurgeon was considered by many in his day as the greatest living preacher of the gospel. Since his death in 1892, his works have been reprinted by many publishers. His primary work was a sixty-three volume set of more than 3,000 sermons. Pilgrim Publications has reprinted the complete set of sermons, with a separate index of the Scripture texts and sermon titles, making it relatively easy to find material on almost any subject. These sermons have also been recorded on a CD ROM disk by the Ages Digital Library. It has been one of the great pleasures of my life to select, arrange, and edit the material in this book. The editing has been confined primarily to spelling (example: "labour" to labor, etc.). Some additions have been made, such as adding the first names of persons not as familiar to the public today. Some time references have been eliminated. For instance, statements such as, "I spoke to you on Thursday last week -- " have been removed as being irrelevant to the message. In some cases I have substituted a new word for one that is not familiarly used today. "Ship" or "boat" was substituted for "barque," etc. However, sentence structure has been left as originally written, and care has been taken not to change the meaning of any statements or doctrines expounded by Mr. Spurgeon.
