Samford divinity student Christian George is the author of Charles Spurgeon: Prince of Preachers (Christian Focus Publications).
The biography of the 19th century Englishman who was one of the best-known preachers in London, Europe and world is set for U.S. release this month. It was released in the United Kingdom in July.
George is pursuing a master of divinity degree at Samford's Beeson Divinity School, where he is president of the student body. He is a 2003 Samford graduate.
"Charles Spurgeon has long been a hero of mine," said George. "His hunger for evangelism, his creative handling of the world of God, and his ability to preach with earthy words brought many to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ."
"I wrote this book because I wanted teenagers to rediscover the preacher who has long been titled the prince of preachers," said George.
The pocket paperback will be available at the Cokesbury Bookstore at Beeson Divinity School, and LifeWay Christian Stores.
George is also the author of a second book, Sacred Travels: Recovering the Ancient Practice of Pilgrimage, to be released by InterVarsity Press in December.
