The impact of Charles Haddon Spurgeon continues to inspire evangelical leaders more than a century after his death. The nineteenth century "Prince of Preachers" demonstrated leadership ability that remains pertinent and applicable today.
Spurgeon pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle (Baptist) in London, preaching to over 5,000 worshipers weekly. He wrote dozens of books that still remain in print, began a college to train pastors, founded an orphanage, and made generous donations to more than twenty-five organizations. The friend of prime ministers and future presidents, he was still able to communicate with the common person.
This in-depth look at Spurgeon and his writings includes leadership principles, methods, teachings, and practical innovations, allowing Spurgeon a voice in Christian issues in the current socio-politico-religious setting.
