Charles Spurgeon

Spurgeon Heir of the Puritans is the biography of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, one of the greatest and most popular preaches who ever lived. Spurgeon was born on June 19, 1834, in Kelvedon, Essex, to John and Eliza Spurgeon. At the age of 18 months, for reasons unknown, Charles was sent to live with his grandparents who had strong influences on his life.

Even though his grandfather and father were both pastors, it wasn’t until Spurgeon was nearly 16 that he gave his life to Christ. On a Sunday morning, January 6, 1850, Spurgeon started to church looking for answers to the many question he had on salvation. Because of a terrible storm he could not attend the church he had planned on. He ended up at a Primitive Methodist church where God used a simple preacher to explain that all he had to do was look to Christ and trust His work on the cross.

Spurgeon’s one desire was for God to use him to preach the gospel as his father and grandfather did. At the age of 16 Spurgeon preached his first sermon and at the age of 17 became the pastor of a small village chur
