Preface
As I have gotten to know Charles Spurgeon over the past several months I have truly come to enjoy and love the man. The more I learned about his piety, the way he conducted his life and the way he knew Christ, the more I liked and admired him. He, even nearly one hundred and twenty years after his death, has taken on another student. I am eager to learn more about this man’s life and ministry and I am honored to write this paper.

C.H. Spurgeon: THE PEOPLE’S PREACHER
May I congratulate all concerned with a great DVD. Putting my Great Grandfather’s life into a small film has been done before, but never so well or so sympathetically.
One word of warning, however, the notion that CHS gave up smoking cigars, was a lie put out by fundamentalist evangelicals in America,
How do I know?
I am in possession of his box of cigars with a note by his “armour bearer”, Mr. Harrald, to the effect that the half smoked cigar therein, was removed from the lips of CHS in Mentone a short while before he died!
Thank you Mr. Telfer for an excellent DVD!
There is a small book out accompanied by a DVD, Drams/Documentary out about his life.
