Since 2020, this daily devotional has been a treasured source of hope and encouragement as my wife and I have walked through many difficult circumstances. Originally published in 1888, Faith's Checkbook is a collection of 366 promises of God drawn from the entire canon of Scripture (Genesis to Revelation). Each promise is explained by Spurgeon in sparkling, vivid prose.
"I commenced these daily portions," Spurgeon explains in the Preface, "when I was wading in the surf of controversy [the 'Downgrade Controversy']... I do not mention this to exact sympathy, but simply to let the reader see that I am no dry-land sailor."
Faith's Checkbook is already available online and in multiple print editions. My favorite online edition is published on the Christian Classical Ethereal Library. However, none of these editions do full justice to the beauty and practicality of this classic daily devotional.
I envision a collection of new products based on Faith's Checkbook:
First, a beautiful, heirloom-quality printed edition. I envision a top-of-the-line cover, a ribbon marker, perhaps gilding on the page edges, top-quality paper, and state-of-the-art binding. This will be by far the most expensive edition of Faith's Checkbook on the market, but also the highest-quality edition.
Second, a budget-friendly printed edition. It will contain the same content as the heirloom edition, but use budget-friendly materials. Perhaps it will be spiral-bound, similar to the Spiral Bible.
Third, a set of Scripture verse cards, one for each of the 366 promises curated by Spurgeon. Each card will be hand-lettered by one of the talented visual artists in our household: my wife and daughters.
Finally, an accompanying website, presenting the text of Faith's Checkbook along with an audio edition, and hyperlinked resources. I envision a top-quality treatment similar to what the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals has done for Matthew Henry's Method for Prayer. 6,600 searches are conducted each month for the keyword "God's promises." This website aims to connect the people searching for God's promises with Spurgeon's battle-tested, trustworthy guidebook.
