Publisher's Summary

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.

Interesting insight

This story is totally new to me. I had never hear of a connection between Pastor Spurgeon and Thomas Johnson.
The narration was good except for not whispering "when the text whispered". Narrators can note that ahead in the margins.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
