Interesting and well-done documentary drama of the life of Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892), English Baptist preacher, author and editor who also founded a pastor's college and an orphanage. With video of on-site locations, historical pictures, narration and drama, the viewer is provided a historically accurate account of Spurgeon's trials and triumphs and the times in which he lived. Including the role of Susannah, devoted wife of Spurgeon, adds an element of tenderness and serves to give the viewer the sense of a more complete understanding of Charles Spurgeon, the "man." See Robber of the Cruel Streets on the life of George Müller for another excellent biographical, documentary drama by Crawford Telfer.

This film is spectacular and extremely well-done and tight. The colors, effects, and music score are equal to the best. You learn about theology and the beautiful relationship Jesus provides to His own and how he matures people like Charles Spurgeon.

EXCELLENT MOVIE, VERY ACCURATE, ACCORDING TO SPURGEONS WRITINGS ABOUT HOW HE WAS SAVED AND THINGS THAT WENT ON IN HIS LIFE. HAVE ALREADY WATCHED IT A FEW TIMES.

C. H. Spurgeon did not have a Theological degree but was one of the best Preachers of his time. The movie is good and the extra commentary gives additional insight into his Reformed Baptist views.

CH Spurgeon: The People's Preacher is an inspiration, well done movie. I especially like the contemporary analysis and current location scenes interspersed with the 1800's period acting.

I found the movie to be well rounded. It was interesting, compelling, historical, and accurate as I understand Spurgeon's life. Not preachy, but the message was very clear.

You always take a big breath before buying a "Christian" film but I'm happy to say this was very well done. It was a docu-drama, part documentary and part movie to keep your interest. Charles Haddon Spurgeon is a hero across the board for most Christians yet this is the first movie I've seen on his life. My only complaint would be I wanted to know more! I certainly expect many more reviews praising this movie and would hope the makers of this DVD would do more DVD's on heros of the faith like Calvin, Farel and Zwingli.
