Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle.
Spurgeon's printed works are voluminous, and those provided here are only a sampling of his best-known works, including his magnum opus, The Treasury of David. Nearly all of Spurgeon's printed works are still in print and available from Pilgrim Publications, PO Box 66, Pasadena, TX 77501.
Great preacher, stalwart of Calvinistic reformed thought. If you want more info or read his works, check out this sight:

One of my most favorite quotes from Spurgeon:
"Higher than we are is our God. His mercy higher than our sins, His love higher than our thoughts. A rock He is since He changes not, and a high rock, because the tempests which overwhelm us roll far beneath at His feet."
Don't know much about him personally. Google him....go to a Christian bookstore. I bet the bookstore would have a biography OR books of his written works, sermons, etc.
What an interesting question....thanks reminded me of this quote and caused me to reach over and grab my Bible.

Check out CBD.com for books by him, or go to the link below to read articles by him. You can also try Wikipedia but I wouldn't trust that information.

I don't know a lot about him, other than the fact he was a terrific minister/writer! I love reading things he wrote.
God bless!
