The Prince And The Pulpit: Charles Haddon Spurgeon and the Gospel That Defined His Life - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

He never earned a degree. He never sought a crowd. Yet by nineteen, Charles Haddon Spurgeon was preaching to the largest congregations London had ever seen — and by the time he died, more of his sermons were in print than any preacher's in history.

This is the story behind the Prince of Preachers: a boy converted in a snowstorm through a sermon he almost didn't hear, a young pastor who buried the dead through a cholera summer, a husband who watched his wife become an invalid while he battled gout, depression, and a controversy that cost him his denomination.

Spurgeon built a college, an orphanage, and a movement — all while insisting that none of it mattered apart from the gospel he had first received as a frightened fifteen-year-old. He was sharp-tongued, stubborn, and sometimes wrong. He was also one of the most faithful witnesses to the grace of God the modern church has known.

The Prince and the Pulpit tells his story honestly: the triumphs and the tragedies, the sermons and the suffering, the fame he never wanted and the Savior he never stopped preaching. Readers will finish this book knowing Spurgeon well — but thinking less about his greatness, and more about the greatness of the Christ he pointed them to.
