This biography is a great introduction to the life of one of history's greatest pastors. Dallimore is a professional historian and excellent writer who is able to summarize sympathetically and accurately the story of Spurgeon. Good introductory work!

Any biography by Ian Murray is a must-buy! This biography is a classic and is one of the best modern biographies of a man that is considered to be one of the foremost American Theologians. Jonathan Edwards was a great man of God with an exceptional mind. He was popular with younger preachers like William Carey, the Father of Modern Missions. He devotion to God, his unparalleled intelligence, his work ethic, and his humility are inspirational to any Christian.

If you are not used to reading challenging biographies, I wouldn't start with this! Consider something a little shorter like Arnold Dallimore's biography of C.H. Spurgeon.
