Synopsis
C.H. Spurgeon was known as the "Prince of Preachers," and while it's not difficult to see why people should focus on this aspect of Spurgeon's life and ministry, he wasn't just a preacher: he was involved in an extraordinarily wide range of Christian social activity.
But who was the real man behind the headlines?
What was his prayer-life like and what was his attitude toward the Bible?
Did he have weaknesses and if so, how were these overcome?
Peter Morden's C.H. Spurgeon--The People's Preacher explores these and other questions, illustrated in full color and published alongside the film of the same name.
Includes sections at the end of each chapter to challenge and encourage readers to discover more of what they can learn from and about Spurgeon.
Synopsis
At Spurgeon's funeral in 1892 he was called the 'Prince of Preachers' but he is also known for much more than that... So who was the real man behind the headlines? Was he different in private to the way he appeared in public? What was his prayer-life like and his attitude to the Bible? Did he have weaknesses and how were these overcome? All these questions are explored in Peter Morden's fine book. To help you on your journey to discover more about Spurgeon, and ultimately the Lord Jesus, there are sections at the end of each chapter to challenge and encourage. This beautifully designed book accompanies the drama documentary of the same name and is fully illustrated with photos, pictures and stills from the film. 'This inspiring and illuminating biography by Peter Morden tells the story of Spurgeon's achievements beyond the pulpit, through his social ministries and his concern for the training of pastors, with his lasting legacy of 'Spurgeons' (formerly Spurgeon's Child Care) and Spurgeon's Theological College.' David Coffey, President of the Baptist World Alliance, Governor at Spurgeon's College
