Growing in Holiness through the Psalms: Insights from Charles Spurgeon’s Treasury of David
Ebook
In a confused world with moral decay, we need clear direction for godly living. While the mention of holiness is not commonly heard these days, the Psalms call us to cultivate holy lives in today's society. The psalmists not only teach us how to grow in holiness but they draw us into their own rich experiences. The author explores the Psalms to give us a perspective on the nature of holiness and the many important ways we can grow in holiness. The Psalter serves as an invaluable guide for our spiritual formation as followers of Jesus Christ.
“Charles Spurgeon was the foremost popular preacher of his generation and is rightly regarded today for his biblical orthodoxy, spiritual power, and continuing relevance. What was the secret of his success? David McKinley answers this question in this well-researched, warm-hearted, and accessible book. Spurgeon’s teaching and example should encourage and challenge us to pursue holiness in our own day and generation. I highly recommend this book.”
—Peter J. Morden, Senior Pastor, Cornerstone Baptist Church, England
“In an age in which we have experienced an almost complete denial of the doctrine of sanctification and holiness, David McKinley has bravely reintroduced this once foundational teaching of the Christian church by focusing primarily on the insights on holiness from Charles Spurgeon’s Treasury of David. McKinley’s Growing in Holiness through the Psalms is a much-needed contribution to the current theological debate and is a must-read for anyone who seriously desires to follow in the steps of Christ.”
—Mel Loucks, Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology, International Theological Seminary, California
“Charles Spurgeon’s Treasury of David is the right guide for navigating through the Psalms as a means of encouraging readers in the pursuit of holiness. With biographical nuggets, exegetical faithfulness, and historical awareness, David McKinley employs Spurgeon as he leads his readers to a practical, biblical view of holiness. I heartily recommend Growing in Holiness through the Psalms for your consideration.”
—Ray Rhodes Jr., Author of Yours, Till Heaven: The Untold Love Story of Charles and Susie Spurgeon
