Daily Devotions with C. H. Spurgeon

  Many times it has been said that this was the greatest preacher this side of the Apostle Paul.  He began preaching at the age of 16.  At 25 he built London’s famous Metropolitan Tabernacle, seating around 5,000.  It was never large enough.  Even when traveling he preached to 10,000 eager listeners a week.  Crowds thronged to hear him as they came to hear John the Baptist by the River Jordan.  The fire of God was on him as on the Prophet Elijah facing assembled Israel at Mount Carmel.
  Spurgeon published thousands of sermons, and many books. HIS MESSAGES TO LOST SINNERS WILL LIVE AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED.
