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)

Through Paul’s letters to Timothy, “God’s Method and Means in Times of Special Peril” considers a crisis in the Church as the apostle nears his departure and decline, false teaching, and outward forms threaten its spiritual life. Using the Tabernacle’s reinforced corners as an image of God’s provision at turning points, it calls readers to remember Jesus Christ, recover the spiritual basis of the Church, guard what is entrusted to them, and bear their responsibility faithfully.
