Spurgeon's superb text of daily devotionals, each based on a Biblical passage, contain wisdom and spiritual thoughts about the events, messages and lessons of the Holy Bible.

A noted preacher and Biblical scholar, Charles Spurgeon puts his knowledge to superb demonstration in this book.

Every day of the year receives a poignant set of thoughts, ideal for the Christian who wishes to begin or conclude each day imbued with spiritual wisdom and the essential teachings of God, Jesus and the Biblical prophets.

Spurgeon's broad ranging set of reflections takes inspiration from the Old and New Testaments, drawing upon the myriad lessons of each.

The author is careful to include a substantial reflection for each day; often, we read a few paragraphs contemplating the will of God and the essential virtues a good Christian should practice.

On other occasions, the travails of Biblical figures such as Moses and Jesus Christ, together with the attitude of God to His faithful and devoted, form the themes of the devotionals.

Significant events in the Christian calendar, such as Easter, Lent and Christmas, are paid due reference.

A charismatic figure in Baptist preaching throughout the mid-late 19th century, Charles Haddon Spurgeon characteristically blended a gift for words and oratory with theological knowledge he spent decades acquiring.

Christians attending his sermons or reading his books were almost always impressed by the immense devotion of his character.

Faith's Checkbook, first published in the author's maturity in 1893, is an exemplar of success in Spurgeon's technique.
