About the
Author
Few people in history can be known by one name and have it
ring true with their audience, and "Spurgeon" is one of them.
Over time, Spurgeon has become known and revered as the "Prince
of Preachers". In the last 200 years he has been one of
the most influential men for not only Preachers of the Gospel
but for those who have not had the opportunity to hear and
receive the Gospel message. He wrote tirelessly over his life,
and WORDsearchBible Software is committed to bring as
many of Spurgeon's works as possible to you in electronic
form.
The details of Charles Haddon Spurgeon's life still
continue to amaze one and all. He was born in Kelvedon, Essex,
England, on June 19, 1834. He accepted Christ in 1850 at the
age of 15. By age 16, he preached his first sermon in 1851,
and by age 20, Spurgeon had already preached over 600 sermons.
In 1854, Spurgeon was asked to become pastor of the New Park
Street Chapel, one of the sixth largest Baptist Churches in
London.
The 1200 seat Chapel had previously been pastored by Dr.
John Gill among others, and it carried a rich heritage with
it. Although the Church was located in the midst of a filthy
industrial district which was hard to reach, by 1855, it was
obvious that the Church must start meeting at the Exter Hall
while the Church building was expanded. When the expansion was
completed, it still was too small and the congregation was
forced to start meeting at the Surrey Music Hall. By 1856,
over 10,000 people would crowd the hall just to get a chance
to hear Spurgeon preach a sermon.
To accommodate the growing number of people, the church
voted to build a new sanctuary and to change the name of the
Church to the Metropolitan Tabernacle. On March 31, 1861, the
first service was held in the sanctuary, with a capacity of
5,600 was the largest non-conformist church in the world.
“I've always loved Charles Spurgeon for
his plainspokenness, his courage, his enthusiasm for the Word
of God, his love for the truth, his command of the English
language, and his ability to use simple, vivid language to
make difficult truths inescapably clear.”
—Dr. John MacArthur, Pastor, Grace
Community Church
“Sell all you have... and buy Spurgeon.
Let him be a Socrates who helps you to find your own way.”
—Helmut Thielicke, Author, Theologian
“The continued life and power of his
printed sermons show that his oratory, noble as it was, was
not the first thing. Our firm belief is that these sermons
will continue to be studied with growing interest and wonder;
that they will ultimately be accepted as incomparably the
greatest contribution to the literature of experiental
Christianity that has been made in this century, and that
their message will go on transforming and quickening lives
after all other sermons of the period are forgotten.”
—W. Robertson Nicoll, Author, Editor
