He was working on it until a few days before his death so it contains the last thoughts that he wanted published.<\/p>\n<p>Spurgeon takes Jesus is King as this theme. He divides Matthew into just over 100 short sections with the title of almost every one containing the word \u2018king\u2019 or \u2018kingdom\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>This work breathes Spurgeon\u2019s love of the Lord Jesus, the Gospel and of God\u2019s word. The comments on each verse are not long (never more than a page) but are full of teaching, advice and help. There are many pithy and memorable phrases so typical of Spurgeon\u2019s preaching. Often the comments on a particular verse end with a prayer which gives the book a deeply devotional quality. This book is best read one section at a time to allow mediation and reflection on what the author says. It could be used as part of one\u2019s daily quiet time, or as bedtime reading. Preachers and teachers will also find many rich ideas that could be incorporated into sermons. If you have never read any of Spurgeon\u2019s books then this would be an excellent place to start. The book itself is a beautifully produced hardback with newly typeset text. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This review was first posted on GoodBookReviews.org.
