video link: C.H. Spurgeon: The People's Preacher

I started watching this last night on Amazon Prime and found it on youtube so youse guys without Prime might watch it FOR FREE.

It is excellent and well-done.

I had no idea Spurgeon was such a phenom when he was still under 20 years old.

DESCRIPTION:

Here is the intimate story of one of the greatest preachers in the history of the church. We follow him from his youth where, as a young preacher he is surprisingly called to minister in London and soon captures the love and respect of the nation. He goes on to become one of its most influential figures.

This powerful, inspirational docudrama faithfully recreates the times of C.H. Spurgeon and brings the “people’s preacher” to life as it follows his trials and triumphs with historical accuracy.

Made by the award-winning Christian Television Association and filmed on location in England, Scotland, France and Germany, this film vividly captures the spirit and message of a man whose eventful — and sometimes controversial — life is highly relevant to the twenty-first century.

An international coproduction with CTA Productions in association with Christian History Institute, CWR (UK), ERF Germany. Written, produced and directed by Crawford Telfer. Presented by Andy Harrison, featuring Christopher Hawes and Stephen Daltry as Spurgeon (younger and older), and introducing Sarah Mardel as Susannah Spurgeon. Music by Steven Faux. Executive Producer Malcolm Turner.

Just got done watching this on Prime and was very blessed by it. I'm now watching "John Wesley: The Faith that Sparked the Methodist Movement". Also very well done. How wonderful it would be for the "mainstream" Protestant movements to go back to the faithful principles and practices that their founders intended. Protestant denominations are often pilloried by some for promoting "YOPIOS" (your own personal interpretation of Scripture) and are falsely accused of having vast differences over the tenets of the Christian faith. As these programs prove, there was UNITY in the major doctrines and all that separated them from one another were in areas of church organization, methods of worship or other minor issues. Men like Spurgeon and Charles and John Wesley were able to lead millions to the grace of God that brings salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and effect positive changes within society. Oh that Almighty God would raise up men like them today!

Thanks for the recommendation!
