Daily Readings from The Christian in Complete Armour

William Gurnall’s book The Christian in Complete Armour is a true masterpiece of Christian spirituality. It reflects the deepest and most mature spirituality that can be found among the Puritans – which is saying something, indeed. However, the prose of Gurnall left something to be desired, as did the three-volume length of the work! Now, Moody publishers have done us a tremendous service by producing a book of choice selections from Gurnall’s masterpiece with modernized language. It is rich, mature, and immensely helpful.

The Promises of God

The central conceit of this book by Charles Spurgeon is that it is 365 entries, each centered around a different promise from God found in Scripture. Reading this will amaze you at just how many promises God makes to his people in Scripture, and you will be richly helped by Spurgeon’s reminders for struggling saints.
