Spurgeon called this work The Treasury of David, and it truly is a treasury that is filled with jewels, gems, and nuggets of gold from the Book of Psalms. In many ways, this is Spurgeon's Magnum Opus. His wife, Susannah, said that if her husband had never written any other work, his writings on the Psalms would have become a permanent literary memorial to him. This is the fourth volume in a six-book series. Senior Editor Beverlee Chadwick has sensitively updated and revised this Pure Gold Classic for the modern reader. As you will see, Spurgeon delighted in his study of the Psalms, and it was his desire that readers would search the Psalms further for themselves. Reading this book leads one right into the heart of God.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892), the "Prince of Preachers," preached his first sermon at age sixteen and became a pastor at age eighteen. Spurgeon drew large crowds and built the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London in 1861 to accommodate them. During his lifetime, he preached to an estimated ten million people.Spurgeon founded and supported charitable outreaches, including educational institutions. He also founded a pastors' college and the famous Stockwell Orphanage.Spurgeon published over two thousand of his sermons, as well as numerous books, which constitute the largest collection of work by a single author. His printed Sunday sermons were so popular that they were literally sold by the ton. He continually appealed to his audiences to allow the Lord to minister to them individually. Highlighted with splashes of spontaneous, delightful humor, his teachings still provide direction to all who are seeking true joy and genuine intimacy with God.
