The Prince of Preachers - Spurgeon


1834-92 (only 58)
Perhaps the most commonly quoted preacher ever. Charles Hadden Spurgeon is known to be the Prince of Preachers.

He only lived 58 years yet managed to write the treasury of David preached and edited hundreds of sermons and wrote a handful of books such as All of Grace.

Preaching Style
Unlike many of the churches of today where the preachers commonly go overtime Spurgeons sermons always kept to around 40 minutes. All accounts expand on how well he delivered his sermons. A truly magnificent preacher who at his height in London people were coming from all around where this one man was able to preach to thousands.

peculiar Facts on Spurgeon
On one occasion he met with William Booth whom he liked yet wondered at their ridiculous uniforms. Also known to enjoy smoking a cigar.

Summary
Charles Spurgeon was not ashamed to be a Calvinist and as always people referred to him as hyper. Here are some quotes.

Some Great quotes

"A lie travels round the world, while Truth is putting on her boots"

Free will carried many a soul to hell, but never a soul to heaven.

"I do not know how some people, who believe that a Christian can fall from grace, manage to be happy."

"By perseverance the snail reached the ark."
