John Ploughman's Pictures | Charles H. Spurgeon | Full-Length Christian Audiobook
Aneko Press
~ Audiobook Description ~
Charles Spurgeon’s beloved “John Ploughman” returns – plain-spoken, sharp-witted, and full of gospel truth.
Following the tremendous response to John Ploughman’s Talk, Spurgeon offers this second volume of plain counsel for everyday people. With colorful illustrations drawn from rural life and seasoned with humor, he speaks straight to the heart – warning against folly, exposing hypocrisy, encouraging honest labor, and encouraging all to turn to Christ.

Written “in the simplest form of our mother tongue,” John Ploughman’s Pictures uses pointed proverbs and everyday situations to make biblical wisdom stick. Whether rebuking drunkenness, urging integrity, or lifting hope for the prodigal, Spurgeon is ever the master with words.
Both warm and bold, humorous and deeply serious, this classic reminds us that the gospel is for ordinary people and for daily living – and that plain truth is often the best kind.
