Movies and film is something I'm not always current on. In fact, unless it's a super-hero movie with my son, I'm generally out of the loop on most current films. My wife says I have an "old soul." Maybe she's right and I'm not quite certain if that will ever really change. But nonetheless, I digress.

One thing I do enjoy watching are historical documentaries. While I'm not much of a historian, I find that they help inspire me and if they're good, I'll be engaged throughout the entire documentary. A few days ago, I came across the documentary of one of my favorite preachers and theologians, Charles Haddon Spurgeon titled "Through The Eyes of Spurgeon" and I highly recommend this! 

It was done so well and is rich in the history of the "Prince of Preachers." If you don't know much about C.H. Spurgeon, he was a reformed baptist preacher in London in the 19th century. My top three favorite things about Spurgeon are the story of his relationship and marriage with his wife, Susannah, his love love and zeal for Christ Jesus, and his convictions as a result of his relationship with the Lord that some found controversial. 

In any case, below are the links to the documentary and to the books based off the documentary (which is filled with quotes from Spurgeon's sermons, books, and letters). I hope you enjoy and would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
