God's Reactions to Man's Defections - Part 1

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

Tracing God’s recurring response when His people’s testimony declines, these messages show how each fresh beginning returns to His original purpose. From Elisha’s new cruse and the salt of 2 Kings 2 to the altar, house, and name, the blood of Christ, and Zechariah’s golden candlestick, they call readers to a living, inward knowledge of the Lord and to a gathered people shaped by His mind. Part One - THE NEW THING WHICH IS OLD.
