Morning and Evening: An Updated Edition of the Classic Devotional in Today's Language
When, at age nineteen, Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) accepted a call to the historic New Park Street Chapel in London, he began a ministry that lasted forty years and marked him as one of the most influential ministers ever. Within a few years, Spurgeon’s congregation moved to the newly built Metropolitan Tabernacle, where, twice each Sunday, six thousand people crowded in to hear him preach. Spurgeon ministered there continuously until he died. His Sunday sermons were taken down by stenographers and printed throughout England, cabled to New York and reprinted in leading U.S. newspapers, and translated into more than twenty languages. His legacy to evangelical Christianity is indicated in the title he is often given—The Prince of Preachers—and in the fact that, outside of the Bible, Spurgeon is published today more often than any preacher.
