The Psalms for Everyday Living

“This daily devotional reaches back to glean from a rich source that was written in an increasingly impoverished age. Charles Spurgeon challenged the skeptical modernist impulse of his day to provide an abundant feast of biblical doctrine. . . . Now in our needy day, McKinley has harvested for us some of the most pungent ideas embedded within that work and takes us on a soul-feast through the Psalms and Spurgeon at the same time. These are short and manageable for the beginning or ending of a day; but their economy of language and syntax does not mean they lack spiritual challenge combined with sustenance. Every sentence has a definite purpose to lead us to consider the burden of a word or phrase in the biblical text.”


—Tom J. Nettles, Senior Professor of Historical Theology, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Kentucky





"We are living in troubled times and we need deeper resources of faith, not only to sustain us but to empower us for greater love and service. In this meditational reader—drawing on the wisdom of one of the giants of the Christian faith, Charles Spurgeon—the author has given us a resource that can guide us into the paths of righteousness, prayer, and fidelity."


—Charles Ringma, Professor Emeritus of Regent College, Vancouver





“Charles Spurgeon, the greatest preacher of the nineteenth century, was also a superb commentator on the Bible. His seven weighty volumes on the Psalms, The Treasury of David, form the inspiration for this devotional work. Spurgeon is quoted and his comments are summarized each day to bring out the pith of a passage from the Psalms. McKinley has composed a spiritual aid informed by Spurgeon’s penetration to the heart of Scripture.”
