PREFACEIn preparing a book for publication entitled "Gems from Proverbs," I came across this sermon by Brother Spurgeon. While reading it, I felt transported to a heavenly place. Every word seemed to be like poetry to me. Certainly this is one of Spurgeon's best.Being still inspired and lifted up by this sermon, the thought came to publish just this one sermon so that others who know nothing about him may be as enthralled by his preaching as well. To those who love him and read him regularly, this book shall be a lovely golden nugget that you can read again and again.God blessed Spurgeon and his preaching, and my prayer is that He will bless all who read this book as well.You will find it is a little piece of heaven come down to touch your soul.
