An interview with Matt Carter and Aaron Ivey, co-authors of Steal Away Home
By Carol Pipes
Steal Away Home is the story of the unlikely friendship between the world’s most famous preacher, Charles Spurgeon, and Thomas Johnson, who spent 28 years as a slave in the United States before training at Spurgeon’s college and being commissioned to Africa as a missionary.
The two men met through divine circumstances and forged a friendship based on mutual respect, a love for the Church, and gospel mission.
We had the opportunity to talk to co-authors Matt Carter and Aaron Ivey about the book and the lessons gleaned from the lives of Spurgeon and Johnson.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
By this all people will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.
–John 13:34-35
