Growing in Holiness through the Psalms

“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





“David McKinley has given the church a wonderful resource. All his chapters are meaningful, encouraging, and applicable to life. His book gives many insights into Charles Spurgeon’s treasuring of the Psalms and why and how it guided him through his life and ministry. McKinley’s work will provide this benefit to its readers as he helps us understand the value and the application of Psalms to life.”
