Good
Tidings of Great Joy: A Collection of Christmas Sermons by Charles Spurgeon is (as the
title says) a gathering of 8 sermons by Spurgeon on the topic of Christmas.
I meant to
read this over the Tis the Seasonathon, but would have had to start the first
day (to read one a day and finish on time). That didn’t happen, so I finished
up a few days after. However, I am really pleased with the speed at which I
read them, giving myself the time to fully dwell on what was said and let it soak
in. They are just the right length, short enough to comfortably read one a day,
but never feel stretched out or like they dragged on too long.
This is the
first collection of sermons that I have ever read and I really enjoyed them. I
found them interesting and thought provoking. It really is the perfect time of
the year to be reading them (leading up to Christmas itself). Each one had a
different perspective to give with new information and calls to the heart to
hear and respond. I didn't necessarily agree with everything he said, but still learned and grew and enjoyed them. Reading these has encouraged me to try reading other sermons
by both Spurgeon and others.
