Some may be interested in reading some more of Charles Spurgeon’s contemporary, Octavius Winslow (in light of my article “Loser Christian.”) I’m excited to let you know that most of his material is available online for free. Just check out Grace Gems. Here’s some more Winslow to warm your soul:

Is Jesus precious to your heart? Is He the object of your supreme admiration and delight? Does He have your warmest affection? Do you love Jesus? You must light your torch of affection for Christ, at the altar of Calvary. You must go there, and learn and believe what the love of Jesus is to you—the vastness of that love; the self sacrifice of that love; how that love of Christ labored and wept, bled, suffered, and died for you! Can you stand before this love; this love so precious, so great, so enduring, so self-consuming, so changeless; and know that for you was this offering—for you this cross—for you this agony—for you this scorn and insult—for you this death; and feel no sensibility, no emotion, no love to Jesus? Impossible!

Do not be cast down, then, in vain regrets that your love to Christ is so frigid, so fickle, so dubious. Go and muse upon the reality and the greatness of the Savior’s love to you, and if love can inspire love, while you muse, the fire will burn, and your soul shall be all in flame with love to God!

You can find a collection of his best quotes here. He has a Morning and Evening devotional, and quite a few other books available. Grace and Truth books also carries some of his books.
