Prince of Preachers

I love stories of how the Word of God is not bound, but continues to break forth into the world with power. To my great joy librivox.org, an MP3 audio book site, now has sermons by Charles Spurgeon.

While they are easily found elsewhere, they mainly are found on Christian sites. But here we see that the Prince of Preachers is so compelling, even over 100 years later, that the secular world will welcome his messages. What a testimony to this servant, he still speaks!

Other great Christian works may be found on that site too. I am currently "reading" Ambrose's book The Duties of Pastors and Daniel Defoe's work on the London plague of the 1640's. Excellent stuff so far.

What is great about the Librivox books is that they are mainly from generations past. The classic stuff that has stood the test of time is the stuff we should be reading. Do you hear of anybody reading the Prayer of Jabez anymore? How about the purpose driven life? Basically those books have seen their day expire. That should tell you a lot about their content. Check out this audio if you want more on that subject.
