In Touch with the Throne

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

“In Touch with the Throne” explores prayer as communion with God and as warfare in the service of Christ’s testimony, drawing on Exodus 30, Nehemiah, Ephesians, and the stories of Elijah, Jonathan, and Israel. Austin-Sparks considers how Christ’s worthiness makes prayer acceptable, how spiritual opposition hinders it, and how questions about God’s will can unsettle confidence. He calls readers to persevere in prayer and stay equipped through the Word. Some Considerations on the Prayer-Life.
