This scarce book was first published in 1899 and is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Charles Haddon Spurgeon was one of England s best known and most celebrated preachers during the latter half of the nineteenth century. A Baptist by denomination, he wrote numerous works whilst preaching to audiences that frequently surpassed 10,000 members. This fascinating biography of a highly influential historical figure by an industrious and scrupulous author is a compelling read for any theology enthusiast. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
