About this book

A harvest of short readings gathered from Spurgeon’s sermons and writings — brief, vivid meditations on the Christian life. The original gleanings are gathered here under twenty themes, from the promises of God and the comfort of affliction to communion with Christ, the joy of salvation, and the hope of heaven — a page of Spurgeon for any moment or need.

The promises of God are to the believer an inexhaustible mine of wealth. Happy is it for him if he knows how to search out their secret veins, and enrich himself with their hid treasures. They are an armory, containing all manner of offensive and defensive weapons.
