About the author

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian, John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues, Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861, the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle.

I love Christmas and I love Spurgeon. What a mix! Good and very well done. Recommended

Excerpts from sermons on the incarnation, preached by C.H. Spurgeon. The only negatives were the language which is antiquated at points but contemporary to the time. It sometimes took a moment to work out what he was saying. That points to my deficiency not the writing, though. Great compilation for Advent!

Dr. Chang has, once again, given us a gift from Spurgeon’s writings. This will be a treasure for years to come!
