This book grew on me. It contains a collection of stories from the life of Charles Spurgeon, which are used to illustrate how to apply Bible verses to a believer’s life.
The aim is to show children what it means to find salvation in Christ and to live for his glory. Initially, the book struck me as quaint. The first third of the book is stories from the life of Spurgeon’s grandfather, James, attached to a curious selection of verses. Occasionally, I didn’t agree with the interpretation of the verse, and sometimes I thought there were more obvious verses that could have been chosen to make the point.
