Charles Spurgeon 
Faith’s Checkbook 

“Faith’s Checkbook” is a classic and inspirational work by Charles Haddon Spurgeon, one of the world’s most famous preachers. Born in Essex, England in 1834, he converted from the Anglican Church to the Baptist faith at the age of 15 and by the age of 22 he was well-known throughout London for his powerful and engaging style. Spurgeon went on to preach at the New Park Street Chapel, later the Metropolitan Tabernacle, for 38 years. He was an important and influential figure in the Reformed Baptist tradition and is often referred to as the “Prince of Preachers”. Spurgeon was a frequent public speaker at various churches and meeting halls, sometimes giving ten sermons a week to thousands of listeners. He was also a prolific author, publishing books on prayer, devotionals, articles, poetry and hymns. Published in 1888, “Faith’s Checkbook” is a practical daily devotional that aids the faithful in practicing prayer and developing behavior in order to fully realize God’s promises to mankind. Spurgeon’s encouraging words continue to be read and cherished by Christians the world over.
