The King's Highway: the Ten Commandments Explained to the Young Richard Newton

"The Prince of Preachers to the young." This was what C. H. Spurgeon called Richard Newton, author of this masterful treatment of the Ten Commandments explained and applied to the young. These sermons were first delivered and then written with children and young people in mind, but they are not in any way childish. They are filled with examples and illustrations intended to make these truths stick and stay. Richard Newton, D. D. (1813-1887) Though he was born in Liverpool, England in 1813, Newton was educated at the University of Pennsylvania and then served as an Episcopal rector in Philadelphia for many years. In addition to thirty volumes of childrenÆs sermons, he wrote Illustrated Rambles in Bible Lands, Five-Minute Talks for the Young, Heroes of the Early Church, Heroes of the Reformation, and The Life of Jesus Christ.
