This episode is about the chapter titled “To Workers with Slender Apparatus” – which is a very strange chapter title. What Spurgeon means by “workers with slender apparatus” is preachers with few books and little or no means by which to purchase more. When reading "Lectures to My Students" there is a temptation to skip this chapter because books are cheaper today, and ebooks are free. But I think you’ll be glad you read this chapter because in it Spurgeon does not give advice so much on how to get books for less money, rather he reveals his own philosophy of reading, which I have found very helpful.
