C.H. Spurgeon: The People's Preacher

Plot Summary

Here is the intimate story of one of the greatest preachers in the history of the church. We follow him from his youth where, as a young preacher he is surprisingly called to minister in London and soon captures the love and respect of the nation. He goes on to become one of its most influential figures. This powerful, inspirational docu-dama faithfully recreates the times of C.H. Spurgeon and brings the "people's preacher" to life as it follows his trials and triumphs with historical accuracy.
