Description:"Following Spurgeon's death in 1892, for two years or more new biographies appeared at the rate of about one a month. The early accounts did little but emphasize admiration. Certain areas that should have been presented - for instance, his ability as a theologian and the methods he used in leading souls to Christ - were almost entirely overlooked The situation was remedied to some extent when in 1894 the six volume 'Life and Work of Charles Haddon Spurgeon' by Golden Pike appeared and in 1897 when the four volume work by Spurgeon's wife and secretary, entitled 'C. H. Spurgeon's Autobiography' began to be published. I have here, (says Dallimore) endeavored to understand and present something of the innerman.'
It is felt that his book will meet the need of those completely ignorant of Spurgeon and at the same time provide a new approach from a biographer who, from past experience of his writings, commands our greatest respect.
