Spurgeon was born at Kelvedon, June 19, 1834. He was an intellectual preacher as opposed to the sputtering emotional kind. Not many like him are left now that D. James Kennedy is dead. Ravi Zacharias is certainly one, though he is wrong about the tomb of Jesus—we know where several alleged ones are, not the actual place in which His dead body laid... Charles Spurgeon preached the gospel to simple country folk in the great outdoors as a very young man. He gained immense popularity due to his ability as an orator to convey his own thoughts, feelings, and sincerity alongside the gospel. The people saw that this was no proud peacock who sat himself apart as a natural leader, better than thou. Spurgeon was their equal, the people's sky pilot. While still a youth he was offered a pastorship at a grandly gothic church near Cambridge. His rise to power is extremely entertaining giving that he faced much resistance from traditionalists. He did not preach by shouting and spitting and convulsing. This man accomplished so much good while caring so little for his own status. It is quite astonishing to find out how much he is responsible for and in what barrenness he and his family lived. Later on in life, Spurgeon's Baptist brethren rejected him. In my opinion this furthers his character. Though the people wanted him to branch off and start his own unique denomination, he would not bring the body of Christ into further variance.Read full review
