On this episode we’ll be hearing an excerpt from an extremely popular Spurgeon book, John Ploughman’s Pictures.
Published in 1881, John Ploughman’s Pictures is a sequel to the earlier John Ploughman’s Talk. In each of these books, Spurgeon uses the persona of John Ploughman, a plain-spoken, hardworking farmer, to convey insights on Christian living and common-sense.
This is one of my favorite Spurgeon books. It uses practical, folksy wisdom and Spurgeon’s wit and spiritual insight to help “men climb to better things.”
Each short chapter uses simple yet vivid illustrations to address various aspects of daily life, character, and conduct. John Ploughman’s Pictures covers topics such as honesty, humility, thrift, and the importance of hard work, as well as the dangers of laziness, pride, and dishonesty.
