Considered by his peers then and now as "one of evangelical Christianity's immortals," Charles Spurgeon's remarkable expository preaching in the city of London during the 1800's was a revival explosion that is still felt today. With results unparalleled in England since the days of Whitefield and Wesley, Spurgeon's nearly four decades of ministry remain one of the greatest pastoral, evangelistic, social ministries ever seen.
Lifted up by the reviving and quickening power of the Holy Spirit, Charles Spurgeon's life and effectiveness was clearly rooted in this: his deepest desire centered in living a life of God-honoring Christian holiness. Exalting his Savior in godly living and preaching the gospel with power were his one consuming passion. Spurgeon believed that true happiness could only be found when we are free from the power of sin, when the gospel has purified our lives and we have a deep desire for holiness.
Personal holiness is dynamic, practical, available, and essential for every believer. Spurgeon's teaching will meet you where you live and help you discover the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in your inner life.
He was converted to Christ at the age of 16 and immediately began preaching. He preached in the streets and in the fields before he was 21. In his first church, he began with 100 members. It grew until he was preaching to 10,000 people in the Surrey Music Hall. His church, the Metropolitan Tabernacle, seated 6,000 people. He withdrew from every movement among English Baptists which tended to criticize the Authorized Version 1611 in any way.
Before his death, he published more than 2,000 sermons and 49 volumes of commentaries, sayings, anecdotes, illustrations, and devotions.
