WINNER – Media category, Christian Resources Together Awards 2011
Be inspired by a life aflame
An innocent country lad from the Fens goes to London where he earns the love and respect of a nation as one of its most influential figures. But his strong principles run against the grain of the culture and, in standing up for them, he becomes isolated, ridiculed by the media – and broken-hearted.
This powerful, inspirational drama documentary goes beyond the text of the book to faithfully recreate the times of C.H. Spurgeon and bring the 'people's preacher' to life.
Made by the award-winning Christian Television Association, and filmed on location in England, Scotland, France and Germany, this film vividly captures the spirit and message of a man whose eventful – and sometimes controversial – life is highly relevant to the twenty-first century.
Great for watching on your own or in a group.
Extras include:
- 'Spurgeon, A Closer Look' (28 mins)
- Peter Morden reveals more about the life of C.H. Spurgeon
- 'The Making of "The People's Preacher"' (15 mins), a behind-the-scenes documentary.
Running time: Approx 75 minutes
Winner: Best Documentary 2011, Sabaoth Film Festival, Milan
