Issue 29. Charles Spurgeon: England's "Prince of Preachers"

Summary
"I take my text and make a bee-line to the cross," said Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the Victorian Englishman who reached over 10 million people with his sermons. He was not an original thinker, nor did he claim to be a theologian. Spurgeon preached. He spoke to ordinary men and women in compelling yet commonsensical language. Learn from his strong words, his noble actions, and his lifelong sufferings as recounted in this issue of Christian History & Biography.
