Question
I would be interested in ordering some of Spurgeon's sermons that you have
on tape and CD - who is the preacher, pastor or layperson who preached them?
Answer
Thank you for your interest in Spurgeon's sermons. I preach the updated
sermons. I take the original manuscripts, update the English, to make it more
understandable, but only where it needs updating. I do not change the author's
meaning nor intent. I then "preach" the sermon in a style that I
suspect the original author did it in. I don't just read the sermons, but yet I
try not to be too dramatic. I try to put the emphasis where it seems naturally
to be needed. The recorded sermons are then digitally edited for extraneous
noises, and then recorded from the computer to CDs. I also use a CD master to
record copies onto cassette tape, always assuring an exact and clear copy of the
original recording.
My background: I grew up in Columbus, Ohio, raised a Roman Catholic. Graduated
from Ohio State University in 1967. I joined the Air Force right after college,
and became a KC-135 and KC-10 pilot. In 1978 I became a Christian at a Baptist
Church in Kokomo, Indiana. Entered Seminary (Talbot Seminary) in 1979, graduated
in 1983 with a Master of Divinity degree in Bible Exposition. I was married in
1981, and my wife Kathy and I now have six children (10-17). I started a BBS in
1986 (Bible Bulletin Board) which became a
website in 1996. I started the Gospel Gems
website in 1997. I retired from the Air Force in March of 1999, and now am a
Manager for Boeing Aerospace in New Jersey, and desiring that someday I may
pastor a Church..
