When one looks at many sermons preached in the Scripture, especially by the Lord Jesus Himself, it cannot be avoided that those sermons used much of the agricultural metaphors and imagery. In fact, the Bible speaks much about spiritual things by using farm and common life language. Think about Jesus’s parables of the sowing and harvesting. In that same way, Charles Spurgeon, the prince of preachers, used farm language in his own sermons, which made them plain and clear to any of his many hearers. This book, originally published in 1882, includes 19 messages inspired by Bible passages on farming and life on a farm that would definitely be a source of joy and growth in Christ for any Christian. Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was born in Kelvedon, Essex, England. He converted to Christianity in 1850 at a small Methodist chapel, and shortly after that he began his own ministry of preaching and teaching, and preached more than 500 sermons by the age of 20. During his ministry, he preached to more than 10 million people, wrote tens of books, and published his sermons in over 25,000 copies on a weekly basis. Charles Spurgeon suffered from poor health and he died on January 31, 1892, and was buried in London.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian, John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues, Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861, the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle.
