The Penitent: An Exposition of the Fifty-First Psalm -- James Morgan

[VirginiaHuguenot]

Originally published in 1855 by the Rev. James Morgan (1799 - August 5, 1873) of Fisherwick Place Presbyterian Church in Belfast as a series of meditations on Psalm 51 for personal use, his congregation gave him a month's leave and the result was a deeply spiritual exposition that was republished by Tentmaker Publications in 2004. Charles Spurgeon says:

The excellent doctor first wrote this exposition for his own spiritual benefit, then preached it for the edification of his flock, and lastly published it for the good of us all. This is a worthy pedigree /or a book, and the book itself is worthy of the pedigree.

James Morgan wrote favorably of Spurgeon too in his autobiography (James Morgan, Recollections of My Life, p. 314).

His exposition of Psalm 51 is available here.
