C. H. Spurgeon Autobiography: The Full Harvest 1860-1892 (Charles Haddon Spurgeon - Autobiography)

Summary: An Animated Autobiography
Review: Second volume of Spurgeon's massive biography is actually an edition edited by Banner of Truth (the full unedited original is published by Pilgrim Press). It is excellent. Full of numerous anecdotes, sermon extracts, letters, and data written by Spurgeon, Susannah Spurgeon (his wife), and Joseph Harrald (his secretary), this book was a real treasure to me.

It commences where volume one left off, near the building of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, where for thirty years Spurgeon heralded the gospel of Christ to thousands. Many aspects of his life are broadly covered, including his literary efforts, the pastors college and other institutions, information regarding his home, his trips to Mentone, France, his numerous afflictions, and the Down-grade controversy. Much of this book is fun and delightful, all of it interesting - at least, to a Spurgeon fan.
