Most people haven't done enough by the age of 20 to warrant a mention let alone a biography. Tuesday on The Vault, Dr. Christian George joined Glenn to shed a little light on one of the most prolific preachers nobody has heard of. Spurgeon rose from the depths of poverty and despair as one of 17 children growing up in England, to writing kings and politicians and speaking to enormous crowds. Spurgeon was so widely respected at age 20, not only did he have a biography written about him, but it was called The Modern Whitfield --- referencing the great George Whitfield.
