About Charles Spurgeon

Charles H. Spurgeon, 1834-1892, was the foremost preacher of the 19th century. His many sermons, devotions, and books bring a unique, inspiring, and spiritual significance to biblical truth. What is most surprising is that Spurgeon had no formal theological training. Even so, he became widely recognized for his insight and prowess in biblical teaching.

“The work done by C. H. Spurgeon cannot die. ‘I beseech you,’ I once heard him say, ‘to live not only for this age, but for the next also. I would fling my shadow through eternal ages if I could.’ He has done it... He will shine on, never ceasing to brighten human lives by the truth he preached, the work he accomplished, and the stainless life he lived.”

From Personal Reminiscences of Charles Haddon Spurgeon by W. Williams, pgs 85-86, published in London, 1895, by The Religious Tract Society.
