About this listen

Introducing the first biography of the life and ministry of R. C. Sproul

R. C. Sproul (1939-2017) was a pastor, a professor, an author, and the founder and president of Ligonier Ministries. His contributions in the areas of biblical studies, theology, worldview and culture, Christian living, and church history continue to be held in high regard.

In this audiobook read by Tom Parks, Stephen J. Nichols offers an in-depth look at Sproul’s life and ministry - his childhood; his formative seminary education; his marriage and partnership with his beloved wife, Vesta; his influence on broader American evangelicalism; and his many friendships with key figures such as James Montgomery Boice, John MacArthur, John Piper, J. I. Packer, and Chuck Colson. This biography details the profound impact Sproul had on the lives of many during his lifetime, and highlights the various ways his legacy continues to influence countless pastors and students worldwide.

What a compelling life it was.

I briefly got to know RC and Vesta on the first Ligonier study cruise and a couple years later on a visit to St. Andrews. This book has been a wonderful reminder of how God used RC’s life and many of the ways in which we were blessed by that life. Thank you Dr. Nichols for providing me a signed copy. I wanted to pay for it, so I bought the audiobook as well. Well worth the read!

The kindness of God to have equipped such a saint

At many times throughout the listening of the story of R.C. Sproul I was brought to tears. The Lord blessed me in finding R.C.’s ministry early in my life. I have grown in knowledge and love for God through this faithful theologians life’s work. I have been equipped by his teaching and to have the pleasure of hearing in more detail the timeline and events of his life I am blessed and have had opportunity to praise God for having raised up R.C. Sproul. Thank you for this work.

A beautiful tribute and snapshot of my favorite theologian. ❤️

My heart is full. RC is missed but God is glorified by his life. Well done, Dr. Nichols

**The Best of the Best**

RC Sproul has been my absolute favourite teacher/author/preacher for many years. Besides being extremely well read Biblically and being an outstanding scholar, he had a unique and precious gift of being able to unpack even the most difficult passages of Holy Scripture in a way that is very easy for the average layman to understand. He always did so in such a gentle manner, even controversial topics had Devine light shown on them in a most comforting way.

I miss him so much but I thank God for the myriad of blessings he has bestowed on us all through RC Sproul and the many ministries he has had over the years.

Feeling Blessed beyond words.

Good but not a complete story

RC Sproul was an amazing Bible teacher, Reformed movement leader and faithful Christian. This book is strongest about his early years and early ministry but falls short in detail about his later ministry and life. It’s very sugarcoated and unbalanced. This is very shortsighted and unhelpful to present the man in virtually an all positive light. It’s like he never sinned or had any shortcomings. The Bible presents people as flawed and we should too. Hopefully future additions will present a more balanced picture of this amazing American Reformed leader.
