Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) began preaching at the New Park Street Chapel in London at nineteen years of age. He gained instant fame, and the church grew from 232 members to more than five thousand at the end of his pastorate. Many of his sermons were published each week and regularly sold more than 25,000 copies in twenty languages. Spurgeon read six books per week during his adult life, and read Pilgrim's Progress more than 100 times. In addition to his studying and preaching, Spurgeon also founded the Pastor's College (now Spurgeon's College), various orphanages and schools, mission chapels, and numerous other social institutions.
