{"product_id":"lectures-to-my-students","title":"Lectures to My Students","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile C.H. Spurgeon is still remembered as being the most popular preacher of the Victorian era, it has generally been forgotten that the influence he exercised on fellow ministers and theological students was possibly an even greater factor in his life than his own personal ministry. That he organized a college, supervised the training of some 845 students, presided at an annual conference of ministers, and regarded all this as his ‘life’s labour and delight’ are facts that are little known today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpurgeon’s \u003cem\u003eLectures to my Students\u003c\/em\u003e, contain the substance of Spurgeon’s regular Friday afternoon addresses to the college students. This new complete and unabridged Banner edition, which as been newly typeset, contains all the lectures in the original first and second series, including The Minister’s Self-Watch, The Preacher’s Private Prayer, The Minister’s Fainting Fits, The Holy Spirit in Connection with our Ministry, The Need of Decision for the Truth, and On Conversion as our Aim. Also included is a third series of lectures, originally published as The Art of Illustration, which focuses on the nature, use, and sources of illustrations and anecdotes in preaching. To make this new edition as complete as possible, the publishers have also included Spurgeon’s Commenting and Commentaries, which contains two further lectures and a fascinating and often humorously annotated catalogue of commentaries. This catalogue, compiled by Spurgeon after a review of some three to four thousand volumes, is anything but dull: calculated to produce enthusiasts for books, it also opens up a new world by its well placed signposts to the riches of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublisher’s Note\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFIRST SERIES\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Pastors’ College\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction and Apology\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Minister’s Self-Watch\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Call to the Ministry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Preacher’s Private Prayer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOur Public Prayer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSermons – Their Matter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOn the Choice of a Text\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOn Spiritualizing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOn the Voice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAttention!\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Faculty of Impromptu Speech\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Minister’s Fainting Fits\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Minister’s Ordinary Conversation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTo Workers with Slender Apparatus\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSECOND SERIES\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Holy Spirit in Connection with Our Ministry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Necessity of Ministerial Progress\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Need of Decision for the Truth\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOpen-Air Preaching – A Sketch of Its History\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOpen-Air Preaching – Remarks Thereon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePosture, Action, Gesture, etc – First Lecture\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePosture, Action, Gesture, etc – Second Lecture\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEarnestness – Its Marring and Maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Blind Eye and the Deaf Ear\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOn Conversion as Our Aim\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTHIRD SERIES\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Art of Illustration\u003cbr\u003eIntroductory Notes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eIllustrations in Preaching\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnecdotes from the Pulpit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Uses of Anecdotes and Illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhere Can We Find Anecdotes and Illustrations?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCyclopædias of Anecdotes and Illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBooks of Fables, Emblems, and Parables\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Sciences as Sources of Illustration – Astronomy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix a: Reviews of Books of Anecdotes, etc.\u003cbr\u003eAppendix b: List of C.
