The “artillery” herein has been proven by one of the most skillful archers to be effective in piercing the armor joints of many sinners’ harnesses. The arrows of conviction have gone home to many hearts when shot from a bow drawn at a venture (1 Kings 22:34). It has been a profitable pleasure to bundle the arrows, and it is hoped that the war-worn soldiers may be relieved a little as we hand them their ammunition in this form. As Spurgeon said, “When the Word of God becomes an arrow in a man’s heart, he writhes; and he would gladly tear it out; but it is a barbed shaft.”

This wonderful volume has been compiled from the sermons of Charles H. Spurgeon. During a season of sickness and recovery, Spurgeon’s son found organizing the illustrations, anecdotes, and similes used by his beloved father a pleasing pastime. Knowing the Lord’s archers' desire for the arrows of truth to stick fast in the hearts of the King’s enemies, it was felt that such a sheaf of arrows, so well barbed, would prove useful to fellow bowmen.
