The Sword and the Trowel, Volume I (1865)

Currently expecting for Fall 2025 — follow along with us to keep updated!

Since The Sword and Trowel annual magazines were originally published, they have never been properly reproduced in full in any format, much less re-typeset into modern digital font. At A Pilgrim’s Coffer, we are starting to remedy this deficit starting with the first original volume from 1865.

This is for Volume 1 for the year 1865!

Compared to the first editions printed over 100 years ago, these volume have:

• New, crisp font for easy reading experience.
• Styling true to original volumes retained throughout.
• Original pictures and artwork included from original volumes

We will continue producing sequential volumes multiple times a year for the indefinite future.

• Page size: 8.5” x 5.5”
• Page count: ~600+ pages.
• Format: Clothbound hardback
• Country of Origin: Printed and bound in the United States of America

Charles H. Spurgeon (1834–1892) was one of the most influential preachers of the 19th century. Known as the “Prince of Preachers,” he pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London and proclaimed the gospel to thousands each week. A prolific writer, Spurgeon authored numerous sermons, books, and devotional works that continue to inspire believers worldwide. His practical wisdom, deep biblical insight, and engaging style have made his writings enduring classics of Christian literature.
