Theodore Austin-Sparks (1888–1971) was a British evangelist and author. Born in London, he became a Christian at seventeen while listening to street-preachers in Glasgow, and was ordained a Baptist minister at twenty-four. In 1926 he left the denomination and, with like-minded Christians, founded a conference and training centre at Honor Oak in south-east London. From there he published the free magazine "A Witness and A Testimony" until his death, and his conference ministry took him across Europe, North America and Asia. He asked that his messages be shared freely and word for word. Source: Wikipedia (summarized; CC BY-SA)

“A Living Testimony” presents the church’s calling as a people who make Christ’s risen life known in a world under the power of death. Opening with Joshua’s crossing of the Jordan, Austin-Sparks connects God’s presence with life overcoming death, then draws on Leviticus 8, 1 Peter 2, and the Passover to show priesthood as a corporate witness grounded in Christ’s sacrifice. Readers are called to live as expressions of His life and servants among the nations.
