Story
Institutes of the Christian Religion is John Calvin's seminal work on Protestant systematic theology. Highly influential in the Western world and still widely read by theological students today, it was published in Latin in 1536 and in his native French in 1541. The book serves as an introductory textbook on the Protestant faith for those with some previous knowledge of theology and covers a broad range of theological topics from the doctrines of church and sacraments to justification by faith alone and Christian liberty.

We all need inspiration to lead lives that honor God.

Our spiritual struggles are not new, and the stories of those who have gone before can help lead the way to our own victories.

For 300 years, The Pilgrim's Progress has remained perhaps the best-loved and most read of devotional fictions. In plain yet powerful and moving language, Bunyan tells the story of Christian's struggle to attain salvation and the Gates of Heaven. He must pass through the Slough of Despond, ward off the temptations of Vanity Fair, and fight the monstrous Apollyon. In Part II, his wife and children follow the same path, helped and protected by Great-heart, until for them, too, "the trumpets sound on the other side."

At the age of 17, Spurgeon became pastor to a handful of believers at Waterbeach in Cambridgeshire, meeting in what had been a dovecote. Within five years, he had become the best-known minister in London. Two years later, following the Sepoy Mutiny, he conducted a service of national humiliation in the Crystal Palace that was attended by 24,000 people. But this volume is far from being a record of human fame and success....

Men who were led by the hand or groped their way along the wall to reach Jesus were touched by his finger and went home without a guide, rejoicing that Jesus Christ had opened their eyes. Jesus is still able to perform such miracles. And, with the power of the Holy Spirit, his word will be expounded, and we’ll watch for the signs to follow, expecting to see them at once. Why shouldn’t those who read this be blessed with the light of heaven? This is my heart's inmost desire.

Now, with his son Sean McDowell, Josh McDowell has updated and expanded this classic resource for a new generation. This is a book that invites listeners to bring their doubts.

Story
You cannot have Christ if you will not serve Him. If you take Christ, you must take Him in all His qualities. You must not simply take Him as a Friend, but you must also take Him as your Master. If you are to become His disciple, you must also become His servant. God-forbid that anyone fights against that truth. It is certainly one of our greatest delights on earth to serve our Lord, and this is to be our joyful vocation even in heaven itself: His servants shall serve Him: and they shall see His face (Revelation 22:3-4).

What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the aristocrat? What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace."

2012 marks the 60th anniversary of the publication of C. S. Lewis’s classic, Mere Christianity. Having sold over half a million copies in the UK alone, his overview of Christianity has been imitated many times, but never outdone. Mere Christianity brings together Lewis’s legendary broadcasts from the war years; talks in which he set out simply to ‘"explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times."

As an individual, you may ask, how can I, an average person, do anything to reach the lost? Or if a pastor, you may be discouraged and feel ineffective with your congregation, much less the world. Or perhaps you don't yet have a heart for the lost. Whatever your excuse, it's time to change. Overcome yourself and learn to make a difference in your church and the world around you. It's time to become an effective soul winner for Christ.

Really great
- By Isaac on 06-02-21
Summary
One contemporary scholar and authority on Spurgeon says of this work: "Next to Mr. Spurgeon's great literary work, The Treasury of David, we consider (these) Lectures to My Students his greatest single contribution to the Christian world. There is more practical wisdom, common sense and sage advice packed within these pages than with any other book of similar size, or content."
This complete and unabridged edition of Spurgeon's great work will make it possible for today's generation to appreciate Spurgeon's combination of discerning wit and refreshingly practical advice. Included in the twenty-eight chapters of this classic volume are lectures such as:
- The Call to Ministry
- The Preacher's Private Prayer
- On the Choice of a Text
- On the Voice
- The Holy Spirit in Connection with Our Ministry
- The Blind Eye and the Deaf Ear
- On Conversion as Our Aim
- Illustrations in Preaching
As were all of Spurgeon's messages to his people, each of these lectures is Scripture-saturated and Christ-honoring. They move swiftly and are fascinating in their content and sage counsel.

Worth the read...surprisingly very funny too
If you could sum up Lectures to My Students in three words, what would they be?
This was brilliant, This is the first full work I've read from "The Prince of Preachers" Charles Spurgeon.
He was an excellent writer and teacher and is surprisingly very funny, lots of LOL moments in this one while delivering timeless truths in an approachable way.
Worth the read! especially if yo will be or are already involved in some sort of Pastoral Ministry.
Another nice surprise for me as a Londoner was the he mentioned areas, and roads I'm really familiar with. His school is up the road from our church and he mentioned Seven Dials which is where I work in London :)

One of the Greatest Pastors of his generation
I have enjoyed listening to this book many times since I bought it. I find it very enjoyable. C.H. Spurgeon was not a formally educated man but was a lifelong student of the Christian faith once he was converted at age 19. He became a preacher who, before microphones could be heard by a crowd of 23,000 people. He actually asked his faithful to stay at home every fourth Sunday so the "unbelievers" would have a chance to hear him. I have read or studied many of the books put out this generation about this pastor that died 120 years ago.
This and many other books have been written in contemporary English as many of the words that were used in Spurgeons day and age are antiquated and not easy to understand. I highly recommend this if you like to listen to the Classic Christian Pastors such as Wesley, Jonathan Edwards, and George Whitfield.

Timeless and priceless
Where does Lectures to My Students rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Absolutely one of the best books I've listened to.
Which character – as performed by Grover Gardner – was your favorite?
The narration was absolutely amazing. I have never heard Charles Spurgeon speak, however Grover Gardner brings his words to life so much that I'm often tempted to think I'm listening to the author himself!!!
Any additional comments?
I often catch myself marveling at how current and relevant this is even though he lived so long ago. I would heartily recommend it to everyone considering serving in ministry.

Where does Lectures to My Students rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This book is a little out of date for some things but for the principles that make for a good preacher, you cannot beat it. Read portions of this book 40 years ago but it was good to listen to it straight through (over several days)

Indispensable and hilarious!
This is one of the funniest books I have read in ages! Spurgeon’s wit and language is very much like Chesterton’s and he excels in that wonderful British understatement that will have you in tears! At the same time the book is a treasury of insights from the prince of preachers! People from all walks of life, not just preachers, will find this very fruitful!

Every Pastor should read this book ever year
Would you listen to Lectures to My Students again? Why?
Yes, Because Pastors today have lost the art of preaching the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. This book will help them.
Who was your favorite character and why?
C. H. Spurgeon.
Spurgeon was a genius, his mind remembered everything he read and the stories which he tells you, you just don't forget them. He has a great sense of humor.
Have you listened to any of Grover Gardner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but I will be in the future. Grover has one of those voices that you can listen to all day.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Pastors repent or perish
Any additional comments?
Spurgeon got it right he followed the Apostles in Acts 6 when help was needed they had the people select 7 men to take care of the widows why the Apostles gave themselves to prayer and the study of the Word. He came to the pulpit ready to preach. He prayed a lot and study a lot.
