God's Way of Recovery

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

Through Nehemiah’s account of a returned remnant rebuilding Jerusalem, Austin-Sparks presents recovery as God’s work to secure a dwelling place among people, carried forward through spiritual leadership and the Holy Spirit’s energy. He connects this purpose with Acts 15 and the apostles’ reading of Amos’s prophecy of David’s fallen tabernacle, calling readers to reconsider their lives and Christian fellowship in light of God’s desire for His presence. Transcribed from conference messages given in October, 1958.
