Spurgeon on resting in the promises of God
The great London preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon had a lot to say during his four decades of ministry at the Metropolitan Tabernacle. And beyond his mighty voice, Spurgeon's pen churned out countless words of biblical interpretation and Christian wisdom. These words can still encourage us today! Volume 4 of the Spurgeon Speaks series helps you find true rest—not mere relaxation, but the lasting peace that arises only out of confidence in God. Spurgeon points you to the biblical promises that God has made. Those words weren't just valid for ancient Israelites or a Victorian-era preacher. God's eternal promises can give you rest today. Presented in lovely editions that you'll be proud to have on your shelf, the Spurgeon Speaks series offers focused readings on topics that were important to the Prince of Preachers. Expertly selected by Jason Allen and updated for twenty-first century readers, this series will be a valued addition to the library of pastors, scholars, and anyone who appreciates the legacy of Charles Haddon Spurgeon.

‘One quality that set Spurgeon apart was his unshakeable trust in God for everything. He even once said, “trust in God alone and lean not on the reeds of human help.” Spurgeon did not just preach God’s Word; he believed it and built his life on it. In volume 4 of the Spurgeon Speaks series, Allen invites us to join the prince of preachers in cherishing God’s precious promises and resting in them. The book features eight sermons: The Rainbow, A Refreshing Promise, Obtaining Promises, Rest, Rest, Only Trust Him! Only Trust Him!, Sweet Peace for Tried Believers, A Cure for Care, and The Blessing of Full Assurance. As with the other volumes of this series, Spurgeon on Resting in the Promises of God is delightful and excellent! It is thoroughly biblical, deeply encouraging, and features beautiful insights into God’s Word. I enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it.’ Audrey F
