Charles Haddon Spurgeon was a British Particular Baptist preacher that remains influential among Christians of various denominations. He is known as the Prince Of Preachers. 

Philip James 'Jim' Elliot was an evangelical Christian who was one of five missionaries killed while participating in Operation Auca, an attempt to evangelize the Huaorani people of Ecuador. Elisabeth died in June.

Jessa then added, 'He's a precious little bundle of joy and we're happy to call him ours.' And Ben said, 'He's just about a week old today.'

Ben added, 'He is going to have this name for the rest of his life.' 

This comes after a report that Jessa was bleeding so heavily following the birth of her son she needed a blood transfusion after being rushed to hospital.

Namesake: 'He had a big impact on our lives. His writings and sermons and books are around today and still have an impact,' Ben added

They love the little guy: The married couple have been sharing several photos of their first born 

As DailyMail.com exclusively revealed, her mom Michelle Duggar called 911 after the midwife became concerned about Jessa at the end of a 48-hour labor and delivery.

Now it's been revealed by People magazine that the 23-year-old had to spend a night in the hospital missing out on those precious first minutes with her newborn.

'I had dreamed about those first moments, getting to breastfeed right away, all that. And so when I had to go to the hospital, it was a shock,' Jessa told People.

'I tried to keep my head. I was awake and alert,' she said, adding that 'everyone stayed calm.'

In the initial stages of labor, the pain was so bad that the reality star almost gave up on having a natural birth.

'Labor is hard,' she told People. 'It was very intense, very long. Everything was different than I expected.'

After 10 hours of contractions, she asked to be taken to hospital to get an epidural.

'They asked me if I really wanted to do that and I said, 'No, I don't, but I do.' I wanted to try natural if at all possible,' she said.
