Charles H Spurgeon Series Baker Book House Grand Rapids MI 1975

Christ's Glorious Achievements
Charles H. Spurgeon Library
The Charles H. Spurgeon Library was a series of books published by Baker Book House in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  The one I have as an example is titled Christ's Glorious Achievements, the Baker reprint being first published in 1975.



Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1902) was a noted Baptist minister whose writings and sermons are still held as important theological teachings in the 21st century. Spurgeon's theology was based upon John Calvin, a reformer from the Reformation period of Christian history.




The books in the Charles H. Spurgeon Library Series are as follows.

Counsel for Christian Workers
The King's Highway
Christ's Glorious Achievements
12 Sermons on Decision
12 Sermons on the Holy Spirit
12 Sermons on the Passion and Death of Christ
12 Sermons on the Resurrection
12 Sermons on Conversion
12 Sermons on Repentance
12 Sermons on Various Subjects
12 Striking Sermons
12 Sermons on for the Troubled and Tired
12 Sermons on the Second Coming of Christ
12 Sermons to Young People
12 Sermons on Faith
 
Baker Book House currently has in print 115 Spurgeon titles, including Christ's Glorious Achievements under the heading C. H. Spurgeon Classics, and there are used copies on the many online book websites.  There are also 13 Spurgeon ebooks at Baker, with the reader needing to do a free download of a Bluefire Reader App. 
 
Retail Books May Be Cost Effective
Retail Christian stores should have his titles also, or be able to order his works, which will save on shipping charges but instead will incur the cost of gasoline to-and-from the store.  Since the standard amazon shipping rate is $3.99 per book, buying online may, or may not be the lower way to purchase books.
 
FREE Online
Spurgeon's works are in public domain and available on the internet for free in multiple formats. One site is The Spurgeon ArchiveSermonAudio.com offers his sermons in audio format for listening. For many many more sites use the search words Spurgeon Sermons.
 
The Advantage of printed books or ebooks in certain situations is that Spurgeons works may then be taken to class, group studies, and discussion groups.  Another advantage as can be seen by the titles above is that for a reasonable price the works are grouped together by subject, i.e. Holy Spirit, Repentance, Conversion, etc.
