The original Spurgeon Devotional app is back on the App Store and completely re-designed. This daily devotional allows the timeless words of Charles Spurgeon to enrich your walk with God. Discover the inspiring thoughts that have made this devotional one of the most cherished of all time. 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." The app reads what you mean, not just the words you used, and shows you the entries that directly speak to you now. 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. Privacy Policy: https://www.43rdelement.com/spurgeon/legal/privacy-policy.html
