Steal Away Home

Charles Spurgeon and Thomas Johnson, Unlikely Friends on the Passage to Freedom

De: Matt Carter, Aaron Ivey

Narrado por: J.D. Jackson

Thomas Johnson and Charles Spurgeon lived worlds apart.

Johnson, an American slave, born into captivity and longing for freedom - Spurgeon, an Englishman born into relative ease and comfort, but, longing, too, for a freedom of his own. Their respective journeys led to an unlikely meeting and an even more unlikely friendship, forged by fate and mutual love for the mission of Christ.

Steal Away Home is a new kind of book based on historical research, which tells a previously untold story set in the 1800s of the relationship between an African-American missionary and one of the greatest preachers to ever live.

Stunning

Brokenness into beautiful, but a story that tells even more! May whoever reads, listen and hears. May the good Lord who used this book to bless me bless you too!

Inspiring

Each man’s tale recounted in this book inspires a life of purpose: one that can only be obtained by the realization of the power of placing one’s own inadequacies in the hands of the Almighty.
Well read, this hopeful book will leave you encouraged and determined to life a life that inspires others as well.

Incredibly wonderful book

This is an incredible story. Wonderful, Christian thoughts, lines of faith books that can increase fines on faith by example

I love this book

Such an amazing book, very inspiring and motivational. This book has taught me much about God, and has brought me closer to Him.

excellent book

I really enjoyed this book. there are moments of terrible sadness and great triumphs. the performance of the book makes you feel as if you were in the room watching the events unfold.

Worth listening through to the end, despite flaws

(This critique is for the audiobook only.) I concur with those who were put off by this book's flawed writing. There were several times when I was ready to give up on it altogether. Nevertheless, I'm glad I hung in there. The book improved tremendously when Charles and Thomas finally met, and that scene even brought me near to tears. Thomas Johnson spoke to my soul in that scene, and in several others as well.
I'm glad to now have some inkling of how much my life has been enriched by a former slave, whose ministry to Spurgeon helped Spurgeon minister to me (and to countless others).

A very good book!

I was very impressed with this book. It held my interest and I learned a lot about two very different men and interesting men. If you have ever had any interest in the time of slavery this is a good story about that time in history and you will learn all about Charles Spurgeon’s life. Take the time to read this book written by Matt Carter it will be worth it!!!

Suffering and Freedom
