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.

1 review for John Ploughman’s Pictures
This book is the sequel to John Ploughman’s Talk and every bit as pithy but fun to read. Spurgeon has a way of hitting home through using the humor of the sayings of the times. The chapters are short – just the right length so as to not get bogged down and to remember and think about what one has read. While much is entertaining there’s always a scriptural point to ponder and hopefully, apply.
The reader can especially see in this book Spurgeon’s compassion for those who are victims of a drinking spouse and or parent. He dedicates a couple of chapters to this topic. It is clear that he was very acquainted with many who were slaves to drink.
We know that Spurgeon’s passion was to see souls saved and perhaps the John Ploughman books provided a different audience from his usual and thereby an opportunity to point us a s sinner to the truth of Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection and ascension to heaven that has afforded us all reconciliation with the Heavenly Father.
