In his simple, Biblical style Charles Simeon answers the questions: What is the purpose of "the Law"? Can we understand the gospel if we don't understand the law? Why do most people settle for a shallow religion? And could preaching the law and gospel, as they are presented in the Bible, lead to more and deeper conversions? What does the "plain and simple" gospel look like? What does the Holy Spirit really want to do for us, (and have we missed it today)? This book contains three extracts from Simeon's 21 Volume "Horae Homileticae" (published in 1831), which he preached as a "simple, continuous exhibition" of the "system of Christianity" and the power that fully develops the Christian, spiritually and practically.

Locked church doors and tossed rotten eggs greeted the faithful and patient Charles Simeon in his early years as a pastor. But in humility and simple power he was allowed by God to triumph. He became, as John R.W. Stott notes, "one of the greatest and most persuasive preachers the Church of England has ever known." Why did he have such an impact? You'll discover the reasons yourself as you read these clearflowing sermons, rich in content and clean in style. Shining through his words are Simeon's simple devotion to pure biblical truth, his concise and orderly presentation, and his pastor's mind and heart. James Houston's editorial preface is an instructive guide to Simeon's sound homiletical principles, while Stott's introduction is an engaging portrait of Simeon as a servant of God. Surveying his long life (1758-1836) and fruitful ministry, Stott is especially impressed by Simeon's refreshing, unaffected humility, and writes, "Our proud, self-confident, self-congratulatory generation urgently needs to recover this biblical perspective." Dr. James M. Houston, editor of the CLASSICS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION SERIES, is a highly acclaimed scholar and pioneer in the field of evangelical spirituality. He came to North America from England in 1968 to lead Regent College in Vancouver, Canada, an international graduate school of Christian studies.

During his ministry at Trinity Church in Cambridge, England from 1783 until his death in 1836, Charles Simeon published a series of over 2500 sermon outlines covering the entire Bible. These sermons were written to help young ministers develop good expository preaching skills. There are 110 sermon outlines that cover the book of Romans. Clarabelle Books will be publishing the entire sermon outline series, as well as a biography of Charles Simeon and other books related to his ministry, such as his "Conversation Parties."

He was born at Reading, Berkshire in 1759 and baptised in the parish church on 24 October of that year. He was the fourth and youngest son of Richard Simeon (died 1784) and Elizabeth Hutton.
Simeon was educated at Eton College and King"s College, Cambridge.
The third brother, Edward Simeon, was a director of the Bank of England. In 1782 he became fellow of King"s College, and took orders, receiving the living of Holy Trinity Church, Cambridge, in the following year. He was at first so unpopular that services were frequently interrupted, and he was often insulted in the streets.
Having overcome public prejudice, he subsequently gained a remarkable and lasting influence among the undergraduates of the university.
In 1792 he read An Essay on the Composition of a Sermon by the French Reformed minister Jean Claude. Simeon found that their principles were identical and used the essay as the basis for his lectures on sermon composition.
Claude’s essay also inspired Simeon to make clear his own theological position, the result being Horae Homileticae, his chief work. He published hundreds of sermons and outlines of sermons (called "sermon skeletons"), still in print, that to some were an invitation to clerical plagiarism.
His chief work is a commentary on the whole Bible, entitled Horae homileticae (London).
lieutenant continues to operate to this day. His memorial by the monumental mason Hopper in Holy Trinity Church (Cambridge), was described by architectural critic Nikolaus Pevsner as an "epitaph in Gothic forms.".
