Morning and Evening

Morning and Evening is a timeless devotional by Charles H. Spurgeon that has blessed believers for over a century.

This new edition from Crossway, bound in a handsome hardcover, features Scripture from the English Standard Version (ESV), with thoughtful updates by pastor and author Alistair Begg. His revisions preserve the richness and beauty of Spurgeon’s original words while making them more accessible for today’s reader.


Precious Blood, Spiritual Strength

On the day I sat down to write this review, I read the morning devotion based on 1 Peter 1:19, reflecting on the precious blood of Christ. I was deeply moved with a renewed passion with this truth:

“He who fights with the precious blood of Jesus fights with a weapon that cannot know defeat.”

The evening reading took me to Exodus 17:12, where Moses grows weary and is supported by Aaron and Hur. Spurgeon connects this to our spiritual fatigue and reminds us that we also need strength beyond ourselves. Christians find strength that comes through the Holy Spirit, who helps us in our weakness:

“The Lord cannot deny his own declarations. Hold up the rod of promise, and have what you seek.”

Meditate on God’s Word

Morning and Evening was one of the first devotionals I read as a young believer. Its format of brief, powerful meditations grounded in Scripture was perfect for my daily walk with God.

Making Morning and Evening part of your daily rhythm is the perfect book to help you meditate on God’s Word day and night.
