36. “Spurgeon: A Life” with Guest Alex DiPrima

In this episode we interview Alex DiPrima on his latest book: “ Spurgeon: A Life ” and discuss Charles Haddon Spurgeon who was the most-well known minister of the gospel in the nineteenth century. We also discuss whether Spurgeon should be considered a “celebrity pastor” and why he was appealing to so many. We cover a few of the many things we can learn from Spurgeon and ways we should seek to emulate him. Alex shares with us how Spurgeon has personally affected him as a Christian and as a pastor. We also discuss the criticism that Spurgeon faced and the Downgrade Controversy, which was one of the most significant events in Spurgeon’s life.
