At the age of 17, Spurgeon became pastor to a handful of believers at Waterbeach in Cambridgeshire, meeting in what had been a dovecote. Within five years, he had become the best-known minister in London. Two years later, following the Sepoy Mutiny, he conducted a service of national humiliation in the Crystal Palace that was attended by 24,000 people.

But this volume is far from being a record of human fame and success. From his first years of childhood in rural Essex to the first years of revival in London, Spurgeon pours out his story with an enthralling fullness and color that emphasizes the center and passion of his life. Whatever Spurgeon did, he did it for Christ - and therefore even his autobiography leads our eyes from his own works of service to the Savior behind them.

This Autobiography ranks as my most favored of all time. Completely inspirational and encouraging to all who name the name of Jesus Christ, and gospel worthy to those who don't.

Delightful in the truest sense!

I learned so much about Charles Spurgeon. It will help many Reformed pastors to listen / read this and take note. I will listen again.

Enjoyable and most Informative read on CHS

A must reader for every teacher and preacher of the Gospel. Spurgeon remains a force to be reckoned with over a century and a half later both in his life and preaching.

The early years, how blessed we are to have such a pleasant recording of his life, did anyone else have a blank silent chapter 35?

I absolutely feel Spurgeon life impressed upon me

A wonderful listen! I found myself a greater in greater admiration for Mr Spurgeon and a deeper desire to know and to love his Saviour that he proclaimed. Eagerly awaiting the second volume!

I have just finished C. H. Spurgeon's Autobiography, Vol. I. I was hesitant at first to buy it as it's really long. I went ahead after listening to the sample and I was not disappointed.

Surprise, surprise, many of our Christian forefathers have a sense of humor. I was thinking that C. H. might be super-spiritual, or stuffy or boring. He was none of these. I was delighted to find that he had such a good sense of humor. Plus, with all of his "success" he did not grow a big head, he was very humble.

There are quite a few interesting and amusing stories throughout the book, not just sermons. My favorite parts were when Mrs. Spurgeon gave her point of view. I believe we got the full picture of C. H. with her additions to the book.

I know that I gave all 5 stars for every section of my review, but I do need to mention a couple of things that were wrong with the recording; not the actual book. There were several times that a phrase was repeated. One time the recording sounded like creepy stereo. So, the recording of this book wasn't the best. But, I still gave it all 5 stars because I don't want anyone to miss this autobiography.

There were a couple of places that went really slow in the actual book. But, I didn't want to miss any gems so I went ahead and listened to the slower action parts. I was well rewarded for my steadfastness in listening.

One of my favorite Christian autobiographies!

God worked powerfully through Charles Spurgeon’s preaching to transform lives. The simplicity of His gospel and the attendant power are awesome to behold.

While quite lengthy a read/listen, this work was excellently compiled and written for the edification of anyone looking for information regarding CHS and the drive of his faith.

Just wonderful.
