The story of Spurgeon's life, largely in his own words, from the events of childhood and youth and through the period of his mature ministry. Here is an inspiring record of a Christian life which continues to be of blessing for so many. In Spurgeon's heart, Jesus stood unapproached, unrivalled. Spurgeon worshipped Him; he adored Him. Whatever Spurgeon did he did it for Christ. None can read these pages without being indelibly impressed with the author's words, "there is no time for serving the Lord like the very earliest days of youth."

Author  C.H. Spurgeon (June 19, 1834 – January 31, 1892) was a British Particular Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the "Prince of Preachers".
