“When we tell the story of our own conversion, I would have it done with great sorrow, remembering what we used to be, and with great joy and gratitude, remembering how little we deserve these things.”

English Particular Baptist preacher

Charles Haddon Spurgeon was an English Particular Baptist preacher. He became one of the most influential Christian voices of the 19th century, and is still known in some circles as the "Prince of Preachers." He was a strong figure in the Baptist tradition, and defended the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. He also opposed the liberal and pragmatic theological trends that were taking hold in the church in his day.
