The great preacher, Charles Spurgeon, extolled the free grace of God as much as anyone who has ever filled a pulpit. These sermons on that grand theme are representative of the work he loved so much, and in which he exhibited such supreme gifts--the direct appeal to the hearts and consciences of his hearers, the close application of Scripture promises, teaching, and rebuke to the habits and practices of their daily lives. Spurgeon, known in his day as "The Prince of Preachers," here proclaims the grandest of virtures of "The King of Kings." These sermons were unavailable until they appeared in the Metropolitan Tabernacle volumes from 1904-1911.
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.
