Ten inspiring and illuminating Bible expositions displaying Mrs. Spurgeon's very intimate and tender walk with Christ. Chapter 1. “Thanksgiving Street.” Chapter 2. Our Great Adversary Chapter 3. God’s Glory in the Wilderness Chapter 4. A Paradox of Providence Chapter 5. Faith’s Sufficiency Chapter 6. The Shadow of God’s Wings Chapter 7. The Night Watcher Chapter 8. Walking in the Spirit Chapter 9. Grievous Inconsistency Chapter 10. Divine Uplifting “The soul that has learned the blessed secret of seeing God's hand in all that concerns it, cannot be a prey to fear, it looks beyond all second causes, straight into the heart and will of God, and rests content, because He rules.” Susannah Spurgeon's A Basket of Summer Fruit is a collection of sweet vignettes bearing the fruit of her love for Christ...Doctrinally sound, theologically rich and devotionally deep, these essays cover topics such as: cultivating a heart of praise to God, love and devotion to Christ, the gospel of Christ, the grace of God in suffering, the sovereignty and providence of God, submission and surrender, cross bearing, personal holiness, consecrated living, spiritual warfare and the knowledge of God both as Father and Heavenly Bridegroom. These are subjects which are sure to hearten every woman in her call to deny herself and follow Christ - yet they are ones specifically tailored to strengthen and fortify the wives of those called to the ministry. "THE time of the singing of birds is come," and from early morning till the sun sets their sweet notes are a constant re-minder of the duty and delight of thanksgiving. Out of the joy of their hearts they trill forth their gladness for the sunshine, and the opening flowers, and the unfolding leaves; and I have heard the same tender song when the rain has fallen, and cold winds have blown, and dark clouds have swept across the sky. Many a time have the birds in the garden at "West-wood" sung a lesson in my listening ears, and rebuked my dullness or my unbelief by their gleeful carolings. Ah! dear friends, some of us do not praise our God half enough. We "raise an Eben-ezer" now and then; but we pitifully fail to obey the com-mand. "Rejoice in the Lord alway." Yet, how much we have to bless Him for, and what sweet encouragement is given to our gratitude by His assur-ance, "Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me"! How often are we told, in His Word, that He takes delight in our thanks-givings and songs! The praise we render is dearer to Him than that of angels, for they cannot bless Him for redeeming love, for pardoned sin, and the blessed hope of resurrection glory.
