Next, he took an assistant teaching post at a school in Cambridge, which he held until Over his lifetime, Spurgeon amassed more 12, works in his personal library.
At age 15, Spurgeon made a firm profession of faith. On January 6, , he was caught in a raging snowstorm and blown off course from his original destination. He entered a Primitive Methodist chapel, and while listening to the sermon, experienced a remarkable vision of Christ as Savior. Spurgeon was only 16 when he preached his first sermon as pastor of Waterbeach Baptist Chapel near Cambridge. Within two years, the little congregation grew from 40 to He spoke in chapels, cottages, and open-air meetings in the countryside surrounding Cambridge.
Soon he was called to be the pastor. From then on, Spurgeon stayed in London. Spurgeon married Susanna Thompson in and within a year had twin sons, Charles and Thomas. Both became Baptist ministers. Practically overnight Spurgeon became a preaching sensation, drawing multitudes in the tens of thousands. By age 22, he was quite possibly the most famous orator in the world.
His youthful appearance contrasted startlingly with his mature sermons, which were published regularly in the London Times and newspapers around the world. In , at the famous Crystal Palace, Spurgeon preached to the largest enclosed gathering ever recorded.
The event was the national day of fasting and prayer , and the crowd numbered nearly 24, In March of that same year, the Metropolitan Tabernacle in Newington opened. Spurgeon wandered the platform, acting out Bible stories with graphic, emotion-packed language. With popularity comes jealousy and controversy, and Spurgeon learned to live with both.

And I find no better cure for that depression than to trust in the Lord with all my heart, and seek to realize afresh the power of the peace-speaking blood of Jesus, and His infinite love in dying upon the cross to put away all my transgressions.
Yet at the worst, when I reach the lowest depths, I have an inward peace which no pain or depression can in the least disturb. Trusting in Jesus Christ my Savior, there is still a blessed quietness in the deep caverns of my soul. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down.
The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy. Spurgeon had no formal education beyond Newmarket Academy, which he attended from August to June , but he was very well-read in Puritan theology, natural history, and Latin and Victorian literature.
