Since the KJV is replaced by the ESV, I guess that means that any biblical quotations within the body of Spurgeon's texts must also be replaced with the ESV for consistency's sake.

I'm just hoping that Spurgeon's own language hasn't been modernized or "updated for today's readers." Spurgeon doesn't need any help.

Nice-looking covers, though.

It's nice to be reminded that they were, originally, two separate books. "Morning by Morning" was published in 1865; "Evening by Evening" came out in 1868. According to Spurgeon's autobiography, the daily readings are not excerpts from his sermons or other writings. Spurgeon wrote each daily entry himself, for both volumes, new and fresh.

Devout souls do not take offence at the depths and difficulties of God's Word, but are, thereby, drawn to intenser contemplation of them. - Alexander Maclaren (1826-1910)
