Barbed Arrows

The arrows of conviction have gone home to many hearts when shot from a bow drawn at a venture (1 Kings 22:34). It has been a profitable pleasure to bundle the arrows, and it is hoped that the war-worn soldiers may be relieved a little as we hand them their ammunition in this form. As Spurgeon said, “When the Word of God becomes an arrow in a man's heart, he writhes; and he would gladly tear it out; but it is a barbed shaft.” This wonderful volume has been compiled from the sermons of Charles H. Spurgeon. During a season of sickness and recovery, Spurgeon's son found organizing the illustrations, anecdotes, and similes used by his beloved father a pleasing pastime. Knowing the Lord's archers' desire for the arrows of truth to stick fast in the hearts of the King's enemies, it was felt that such a sheaf of arrows, so well barbed, would prove useful to fellow bowmen.
