CH Spurgeon - a brief biography by Michelle Buckman

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (19 June 1834 – 31 January 1892) was an English Baptist preacher. He remains very influential among many Christians, among whom he is often known as the "Prince of Preachers".  His extraordinary gifts and his personal devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ were the means of much fruitfulness to the glory of God.

Spurgeon was a pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years.  He authored many types of works including sermons, one autobiography, commentaries, books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, hymns, and more.  Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated into many languages during his lifetime.  His oratory skills held his many listeners spellbound in the Metropolitan Tabernacle and even today many Christians hold his writings in exceptionally high regard.
