Alex DiPrima Examines the Life of Charles Spurgeon in New Biography from Reformation Heritage Books

Reformation Heritage Books has announced the release of the new biography, “Spurgeon: A Life,” by Alex DiPrima. The new book is available now wherever books are sold and at HeritageBooks.org.

In this biography, DiPrima paints a fresh portrait of Charles Haddon Spurgeon—the most well-known minister of the gospel in the nineteenth century. As DiPrima traces Spurgeon’s life from the famous “boy preacher of the fens” to the mature pastor of later years, readers will marvel at his extraordinary speaking abilities, his genius for administration, and his massive global influence, which set him apart as a leader of rare brilliance. Yet by presenting Spurgeon in his social, historical, and religious contexts, DiPrima helps us comprehend the whole of Spurgeon’s ministry in metropolitan London. Combining academic expertise with popular presentation, this short biography will be the go-to introduction on Spurgeon for years to come.

Charles H. Spurgeon (1834–1892) was an English Baptist pastor at New Park Street Chapel, London (which later became the Metropolitan Tabernacle), for thirty-eight years. Known as the “Prince of Preachers," Spurgeon was one of the nineteenth century's most prolific preachers and writers, and his ministry and legacy continues today through his books, commentaries, and thousands of sermons.
