C.H. Spurgeon Autobiography

Book Description

The enduring value of this ‘Autobiography’ lies in its record of God’s grace. Through out these pages the Saviour stands above the servant. That Christ is worthy of a devotion and a service incomparably greater than any redeemed sinner can render is the supreme lesson of the book.

‘In his heart’, wrote Archibald Brown, ‘Jesus stood unapproached, unrivalled. He worshipped Him; he adored Him. He was our Lord’s delighted captive.’ Whatever Spurgeon did he did it for Christ. None can read these pages without being indelibly impressed with the author’s words, ‘there is no time for serving the Lord like the very earliest days of youth.’

Charles Spurgeon has to be one of my favorite historical figures of all time. I just love the guy. Such a fascinating personality, and a uniquely gifted preacher. Oh, how I would LOVE to go back in time and listen to this man preach. Such a booming voice. So eloquent, with one of the most legitimate hearts for the Lord you'll ever know.

I learned a lot from this collection. This didn't seem like an autobiography, per se, as much as a menagerie of journal entries, newspaper clippings, and letters from Spurgeon, his wife, and his friends. For a while there I began to weary of the layout. Letter after letter... how many letters must I endure? And the language, eloquent though it may be, was a bit sugary sweet. I thought, oh boy, was this going to be a hagiography of the great St. Charles? And then, things began to turn. Letters from detractors started to roll in and things started getting interesting. And then some of his weaknesses began to emerge, even some of his frailties. And then disaster hit. Seven peopl
