Chequebook of the Bank of Faith Daily Readings by C.H. Spurgeon

A short reading for every day. Spurgeon wrote this selection of readings to encourage believers to enter into the full provision that their relationship to Jesus entitled them to realize, on a daily basis. He explains we have to present the promises of Scripture to God in prayer and faith, anticipating that he will honor what he has said. Beautiful leather-bound volume in tan and burgundy.
