About The Personal Letters of Charles Spurgeon (Unabridged)

What you are about to hear is perhaps the most unique, and neglected work of the Prince of Preachers. It is unlike anything else that has been published by him, or after him of his works. Charles Spurgeon was a unique man of God in church history. He was born at the end of the Second Great Awakening in 1834. While most of the revivalists during his day spent their days on the road, traveling from church to church preaching the Gospel, Spurgeon dedicated his life to that of a pastor. Not to say he didn’t travel, because he certainly did along with the best of them. However, his heart was for his church, the Metropolitan Tabernacle where he pastored for 38 years. The Tabernacle consistently had over 5,000 members, which while not so uncommon today, was an enigma and sign of the great power of God in this man in those days. There were no expensive sound systems or bright screens and lights. He only had the anointing of God and powerful worship to draw the crowds. He was called the Prince of Preachers for good reason. His eloquence, intelligence, and ability to explain deep truths in understandable ways continues to be unparalleled. Charles Spurgeon preached nearly 3,600 sermons, which were compiled into 63 volumes, and published an astonishing 49 volumes of other works. He truly dedicated his life to declaring the truths of Jesus. However, while these sermons and other teachings are often the subject of books written by or about Mr. Spurgeon, this is an entirely unique volume. After the death of Charles Senior, his son, also named Charles, compiled his father’s personal letters into a lesser-known book, which you are about to have the pleasure of listening to. This volume gives a unique perspective into the personal life of the Prince of Preachers. It shows that while he walked in revival his entire life, he was a man like any other. He was a man that had a family he dearly loved, got angry when people twisted his words, was often wracked with sickness and pain, and above all, loved Jesus.
