In this episode of Courier Conversations Plus, Jeff Robinson sits down with pastor and author Ray Rhodes, Jr. to talk about his new biography, Spurgeon: The Man Beyond the Pulpit.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon is remembered as one of the greatest preachers in Christian history, but what was he like beyond the pulpit? Ray Rhodes has spent more than a decade researching Spurgeon’s life, ministry, writings, marriage, suffering, and theology, and he brings a fresh perspective to the man behind the legendary preaching ministry.

Jeff and Ray discuss Spurgeon’s rural upbringing, his love for the Puritans, his extraordinary productivity, his marriage to Susannah Spurgeon, his physical suffering, his commitment to biblical and Reformed theology, his passion for evangelism, and the painful Downgrade Controversy that marked the final years of his ministry.

They also explore how Spurgeon’s life and ministry continue to challenge and encourage pastors and Christians today.
