About this listen

Thomas Johnson and Charles Spurgeon lived worlds apart.

Johnson, an American slave, born into captivity and longing for freedom - Spurgeon, an Englishman born into relative ease and comfort, but, longing, too, for a freedom of his own. Their respective journeys led to an unlikely meeting and an even more unlikely friendship, forged by fate and mutual love for the mission of Christ.

Steal Away Home is a new kind of book based on historical research, which tells a previously untold story set in the 1800s of the relationship between an African-American missionary and one of the greatest preachers to ever live.

I really enjoyed this book. there are moments of terrible sadness and great triumphs. the performance of the book makes you feel as if you were in the room watching the events unfold.

(This critique is for the audiobook only.) I concur with those who were put off by this book's flawed writing. There were several times when I was ready to give up on it altogether. Nevertheless, I'm glad I hung in there. The book improved tremendously when Charles and Thomas finally met, and that scene even brought me near to tears. Thomas Johnson spoke to my soul in that scene, and in several others as well.
I'm glad to now have some inkling of how much my life has been enriched by a former slave, whose ministry to Spurgeon helped Spurgeon minister to me (and to countless others).

Worth listening through to the end, despite flaws

I was very impressed with this book. It held my interest and I learned a lot about two very different men and interesting men. If you have ever had any interest in the time of slavery this is a good story about that time in history and you will learn all about Charles Spurgeon’s life. Take the time to read this book written by Matt Carter it will be worth it!!!

A very good book!
