My Thoughts:
Before I dig into the content of Advice for Seekers, I need to point out the physical appearance of this book. Attic Books has done it again – produced a new, reprinted version of the book that looks like a classic book. The hardcover has the look of an old book even though it’s new. The pages have that ragged torn look even though they are heavy and well made. The print is easy to read, but it still has the old book feel to it. Because this book was recreated from the original 1896 Words of Advice for Seekers by Charles H. Spurgeon, it maitains the original spelling and style.
Fair warning…. Spurgeon does not mince words in this book. As pastor recently said, you might want to make sure you have your steel toe boots on when you start reading. While he’s not harsh, he does tell it like it is. For me, this is encouraging. I personally don’t care for tip-toeing around subjects. I want someone to tell me like it is. I want them to make me think, make me truly reflect on the Lord and His teachings which are contained within the Bible. Charles H. Spurgeon is not luke warm in his stand for the gospel of Christ.
The topics covered in this book include:
- Do not try to save yourself
- Despised ones seeking Jesus
- Seekers touching Christ
- Still no light and why?
- We wait for light
- The invitation
- Something to be set right
- Hindrances to coming to the light
- Seekers encouraged – the substitute
- Seeking
- How Luther sought and found
- Saved through faith
- May I believe?
- A needless question answered
Advice for Seekers isn’t the type of book that you quickly read through and then move on to something else. Instead, it’s the type of book that you read through slowly – chapter by chapter, study the scriptures, and then meditate and pray about the words being read.
