Daily Treasure

In Daily Treasure, James Renihan presents us a condensed and updated edition of Spurgeon’s The Treasury of David—tailored as devotionals fit for a year. Renihan has worked carefully with Spurgeon’s material to create a concise and cohesive devotional that will guide the reader through the whole Psalter. I love how the essence of Spurgeon’s work was captured in this devotional. Abridgement and condensation of long and massive books could sometimes lead to content compromise, and I know some condensed works which altered the original beyond recognition. In Daily Treasure, James Renihan not only masterfully abridged the Treasury, but he also updated the language for the modern readers. Along with this, he wrote a 14–page concise biography of Spurgeon which is included in the first part of this book. Evangelical Press, the publisher of this work, also made an excellent job in the physical aspects of this book. The pages are sewn which causes the book to lay flat when open, and they are bound in a cloth–over–board cover. It also comes with a yellow satin ribbon marker. Daily Treasure is well–done and very readable. The Treasury of David has been distilled here in a simple and understandable way. If you are new to Spurgeon’s writings, this is an excellent place to start. If like me, you love Spurgeon’s own devotional book, Morning and Evening, you will surely enjoy Daily Treasure.
