Filled Unto All the Fulness of God

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)

About this book

“Filled Unto All the Fulness of God” reads Joshua’s conquest and inheritance alongside Ephesians and Colossians as a picture of God’s goal: believers growing into the fulness of Christ. It explores resurrection life, the Spirit’s government, and the church as God’s family, whose members are shaped into the likeness of the Son. The reader is called to press on in faith, leaving behind what hinders and seeking to gain Christ fully. This book is based on a series of messages given at a conference in July 1934. The spoken form has been retained. From unpublished manuscripts. Published on the web in March 2009.
