God's Spiritual House

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

“God’s Spiritual House” traces the Church’s calling as living stones in Christ: to proclaim the exalted Son, express God’s satisfaction in Him, minister deliverance and life, and represent Christ in every place. Beginning with the exaltation of God’s Son in passages from Chronicles, Acts, Peter, Hebrews, and Ephesians, it considers the Spirit’s rule, the training and future placing of God’s sons, and faith as the governing principle. It calls believers to spiritual maturity and a living testimony to Christ. First published in "A Witness and A Testimony" magazines, 1941-1942.
