C. H. Spurgeon's enduring classic, The Treasury of David, has long been regarded as the most comprehensive pastoral and inspirational study of the Psalms ever written. Originally released in seven volumes, Spurgeon's work has been carefully abridged by David Otis Fuller in this accessible one-volume edition. As Herbert Lockyer observes, this edition gathers out "all the jewels" of this great work, presenting more than 4,000 quotes from notables such as Augustine, Calvin, Luther, Bunyan, Matthew Henry, and of course Spurgeon himself. For devotional reading or sermon preparation, The Treasury of David contains "some of the greatest and grandest words of comfort and inspiration that have ever been penned" (from the preface).
"A classic in its field. Richly rewarding, deeply devotional, and pleasingly relevant. Provides not only the thoughts of the great 'Prince of Preachers, ' but also an abundance of quotations taken from the writings of those who have preceded him in the ministry of the Word."
--Cyril J. Barber, The Minister's Library Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was born in Essex, England. After preaching his first sermon at the age of 16, he became pastor of the church in Waterbeach at the age of 17. His most fruitful years of ministry were at the New Park Street and later the Metropolitan Tabernacle pulpit in London. Called the "Prince of Preachers," he had more than 1,900 sermons published prior to his death.
David Otis Fuller (1903-1988) was a Baptist preacher known for his condensations of Spurgeon's works. In addition to the Treasury of David, Fuller also edited Spurgeon's Sermon Notes, and Spurgeon's Sermon Illustrations, also published by Kregel Publications.
