The great preacher, Charles H Spurgeon was born on June 19, 1834. His faithful, biblical preaching reached hundreds of thousands of souls in his day — and millions since then. I thank God for CHS!

Who are America’s most famous Christians? Could you name 10 Christians from colonial times to today who had a significant impact on the church or our country? Perhaps you can name 3 or 4, but how about
10 or 12? *Post a comment below, and give me your list (even if it is only a few names).
Actually, there are dozens we should know! Here’s a picture of one — do you know him? (it is not Jonathan Edwards). My fear is that American Christians are terribly ignorant of our own history. And I’d like to do something about that.
This summer, I would like to do a brief series of biographies of famous American Christians at our church (and then also here on the blog!).
I’ll watch for your input here, and post my own top ten list by month’s end.
