A Tribute to Charles Spurgeon's The Treasury of David Exposition of the Psalms: From the heart of the Bible comes a blend of God's perfect and Spurgeon's best.

“With this book, Leith Swanson has given anyone who loves the Lord—and those headed in that direction—a gift beyond measure. His labor of love condensed 3,000 pages of Charles Spurgeon’s classic “The Treasury of David” into a well-organized, one-Psalm-at-a-time summary of Spurgeon’s monumental work. If you love the Psalms, this book will become a keeper for life, to which you will return for knowledge, inspiration, and devotional reading again and again—for yourself—but also as a cherished gift to those you love.”— Robert C. Andringa, Ph.D., President Emeritus, Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (Dr. Andringa served as the President of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) for twelve years. The CCCU is a consortium of 184 Christ-centered colleges and universities around the world. He is a retired U.S. Army Captain and for decades served as consultant, trainer, and coach, for over 500 nonprofit CEO’s and boards, mainly in the faith-based community.)Picture this—several thousand years ago God is on His throne in the timeless perfection of eternity when He calls David, a shepherd boy on earth to: lead His chosen people, the Jews, as a warrior-king; magnify His Holy Word through the composition of Psalms (worship songs); and inspire His church in Jesus. David heeds God’s call and by the power of the Holy Spirit composes Psalms that praise the Lord and emote the spectrum of life experiences common to mankind. A few millenniums later, in 1850 England, a fifteen-year-old schoolboy named Charles H. Spurgeon seeks shelter from a fierce winter snowstorm. He ducks into a small village chapel, hears the gospel preached by an uneducated shoemaker, and commits his life to Jesus. Over the next several decades he becomes the most renown Pastor/Teacher on earth, but is also frequently ill with numerous health issues. He views his bedridden condition as a gift of time from the Lord to glorify God by researching and writing an exposition of the book of Psalms. He completes this labor of love twenty years later and titles it, The Treasury of David.Since 1885, C.H. Spurgeon’s masterpiece, The Treasury of David, has been recognized by theologians and pastors alike as the gold standard exposition of the Psalms. One reviewer called it “a classic among classics.” Here, for the first time, with characteristic organizational and spiritual insight, Leith Swanson has condensed and assembled Spurgeon’s KJV-based commentary, side-by-side with the NKJV text, while simultaneously updating Spurgeon’s 19th century English for the 21st century reader. The result provides a profound understanding of the past, present, and future—through the lens of God’s perfect word. Read more
