    Volume 1 A deep, inspiring, and often challenging study of the Lord Jesus Christ's miracles and parables. Men who were led by the hand or groped their way along the wall to reach Jesus were touched by his finger and went home without a guide, rejoicing that Jesus Christ had opened their eyes. Jesus is still able to perform such miracles. And, with the power of the Holy Spirit, his Word will be expounded and we’ll watch for the signs to follow, expecting to see them at once. Why shouldn’t those who read this be blessed with the light of heaven? This is my heart's inmost desire. I can’t put fine words together. I’ve never studied speech. In fact, my heart loathes the very thought of intentionally speaking with fine words when souls are in danger of eternal separation from God. No, I work to speak straight to your hearts and consciences, and if there is anyone with faith to receive, God will bless them with fresh revelation. - Charles H. Spurgeon In this first volume, Charles H. Spurgeon expounds on the following miracles: • Jesus heals two blind men by touching their eyes (Matthew 9:27-30). • Jesus uses spit to heal another blind man (Mark 8:22-25). • Jesus passes through the midst of those who would kill him (Luke 4:28-30). • Jesus brings a widow’s son back to life (Luke 7:11-17). • Jesus releases a woman from a spirit of infirmity (Luke 13:10-13). • Jesus heals ten lepers but only one thanks him (Luke 17:12-16). • Jesus gently rebukes his mother then makes wine for the wedding (John 2:1-5). • Jesus tests a nobleman’s faith and his son is healed (John 4:46-53).
