When one looks at many sermons preached in the Scripture, especially by the Lord Jesus Himself, it cannot be avoided that those sermons used much of the agricultural metaphors and imagery. In fact, the Bible speaks much about spiritual things by using farm and common life language. Think about Jesus’s parables of the sowing and harvesting.
In that same way, Charles Spurgeon, the prince of preachers, used farm language in his own sermons, which made them plain and clear to any of his many hearers.
SERMONS FOR FARMERS (originally published in 1882 under the title of “Farm Sermons”) includes 19 messages inspired by Bible passages on farming and life on a farm that would definitely be a source of joy and growth in Christ for any Christian.
This book has been originally published in 1882. This edition has been edited for modern readers, typeset for eBook readers, and proofread.

C.H. Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)
Spurgeon quickly became known as one of the most influential preachers of his time. Well known for his biblical powerful expositions of scripture and oratory ability. In modern evangelical circles he is stated to be the "Prince of Preachers." He pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle in downtown London, England.His church was part of a particular baptist church movement and they defended and preached Christ and Him crucified and the purity of the Gospel message. Spurgeon never gave altar calls but always extended the invitation to come to Christ. He was a faithful minister in his time that glorified God and brought many to the living Christ.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian John Gill).
The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000 - all in the days before electronic amplification.
In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the new Metropolitan Tabernacle.
