Pavement wrapped up at Easley Recording in Memphis. They mixed the tracks and recorded overdubs in New York. They took a step back and assessed the material. It was a wild scene. They had fully fleshed-out songs and whispers and rumors of half-formed ones. They had songs that followed a hard-to-gauge internal logic. They had punk tunes and country tunes and sad tunes and funny ones. They had fuzzy pop and angular new wave. They had raunchy guitar solos and stoner blues. They had pristine j...

"Plough with an ox which will not miss a farrow."Charles SpurgeonA Spur for a Free Horse is a classic sermon by Charles Spurgeon. This audio edition is beautifully narrated by Bryan Nyman.

Charles Spurgeon was one of the most well-known preachers in the 19th century. Yet more than anything, he desired that all who knew him would desire to know Christ. Before his congregation at the Metropolitan Tabernacle he said to himself, “My soul, never be satisfied within a shadowy Christ.” He points to Philippians 3:10, where Paul says he gave up everything “That I may know [Christ]”; Spurgeon urges all who listen to do likewise.

"The old truth that Calvin preached, that Augustine preached, that Paul preached, is the truth that I must preach to-day, or else be false to my conscience and my God. I cannot shape the truth; I know of no such thing as paring off the rough edges of a doctrine. John Knox's gospel is my gospel. That which thundered through Scotland must thunder through England again."—C. H. SpurgeonA Defense of Calvinism is a classic text by Charles H. Spurgeon. This rendition is ...

The Prayer of Jabez is a classic by Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon. This audiobook is wonderfully narrated by Bryan Nyman.

The great English preacher Charles Spurgeon lived in the 1800s, but his lament over the current state of spirituality sounds quite contemporary. Spurgeon saw a severe lack of spiritual knowledge among churchgoers of his day. In this impassioned sermon, he urges Christians to seek wisdom through the Holy Spirit, the comforter and teacher that Christ left behind to guide his followers. This sermon serves as a wake-up call for the spiritually apathetic of any generation.

Transforming Provincial Politics is the first province-by-province analysis of politics and political economy in more than a decade, and the first to...

This great Victorian preacher will provide readers with new insight into the spirit of this ecumenical tradition.

Charles Spurgeon has been called the “prince of preachers,” a man in a league of his own in 19th-century Britain. Yet in “A Pastoral Letter,” his humble tone would lead one to believe he was writing to a small congregation in a country chapel. He reflects on the highs and lows of his time in the ministry, noting that, “When I have labored most for [God’s] glory, I have feasted most on the provisions of his grace.” Spurgeon mirrors the tone of the New Testament’s epistolary books, his words...
