ASK IN YOUR OWN WORDS AI-assisted search allows you to ask questions or pose situations - "I can't stop worrying about money." "My father died last month." "I prayed and nothing changed."

TODAY Open to this morning's or this evening's reading, and step back or forward through any day of the year. BROWSE THE WHOLE BOOK Two ways in. By what you're going through — when you're anxious, grieving, tempted, waiting. Or by subject — prayer, the cross and the blood, assurance, Scripture. Each opens into more particular ground beneath it. THE KING JAMES BIBLE, INCLUDED AND OFFLINE Tap any verse Spurgeon quotes to read it where you are, or open the full chapter around it. All 66 books are on the device. KEEP WHAT MATTERS Star an entry, highlight a sentence. What you keep syncs privately through your own iCloud account to your other devices. MADE FOR READING Spurgeon's prose is set in a serif and the app's own words never are, so you can always tell at a glance which is which. Every screen works at every Dynamic Type size, from small to the largest accessibility settings. FREE, AND THE FULL VERSION The free version opens thirteen days of readings and answers three questions, along with the whole Bible, saving and highlighting. One purchase — once, not a subscription — opens all 732 readings, every day of the year, browsing by subject, and as many questions as you want to ask. Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892) preached in London to congregations of thousands and wrote Morning and Evening for the quieter half of the same life. It has been in print for a hundred and sixty years.

The app even reminds me to read. ### 5/5 — Solid update *2015-07-13* Great content in a beautiful presentation. ### 5/5 — Great Spurgeon App *2015-05-25* The best Spurgeon app for iOS I've found. Simple and easy to use. I like the email feature. Bookmarks are a little buggy but I just don't use them anyway. ### 3/5 — Bugs needed to be fixed *2015-04-23* Although there was a bug fix for the favorites not being saved, I still cannot save a bookmark. Also, the arrows are not showing to go back or forward to another devotion. I finally figured out how to advance to the next devotion by trial and error, then went to the description for the app and noticed the arrows on the sample page. I have a 5S iPhone with the 8.2 update. I would give a higher rating if these issues were working because it is a good app. I don't remember if this was a paid or free app. **Developer response:** Try out the new version - completely re-designed from the ground up. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2012-10-08* My favorite devotion ever. . .I love how Spurgeon sees God everywhere and finds the gospel in obscure passages in the Old Testament. The click-through link to the bible chapter is nice. . .honestly some days the scripture is so rich I never make it back to the devotion! ### 3/5 — Nice *2012-03-01* Important: this devotional is written in a very literary, stylized way by an Englishman 100 years ago. it will not appeal to Americans who like very accessible reading by authors such as Rick Warren and Joyce Meyer. At it is inspirational an thought provoking, at other times it is excessively ornate and poetic and the message is very cryptic . I'm not a huge fan of highly stylized writing (I prefer simplicity like the Bible) but some of the devotionals are pretty good if you can get last the "as we bow in docility clutched in the throes of the mighty tempest" literary tone. ### 4/5 — Needs a little work *2012-02-28* The app takes a long time to load, crashes frequently, and is overall very slow, since it's last update. Once that's fixed it will be wonderful. Thanks for all the work you put into it! It is a blessing. ### 5/5 — This is great!! *2012-02-01* Now that the app is universal it is amazing! I used it on my iPad before and it was a nuisance to use, but now it's amazing! ### 5/5 — Love it *2011-09-11* Love the app, it would be even better if it had a search feature, where you can search for devotionals by keywords. ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2010-07-12* No more carrying around my morning and evening book. There are so many features on this app and they really keep updating those. The value is in the words though...scripture is delivered 2 times a day and that's what matters. ## Frequently asked questions about Spurgeon Devotional ### What is Spurgeon Devotional?
