Samuel and Spiritual Growth

About this book

Through the story of Samuel in 1 Samuel, Austin-Sparks traces spiritual growth from its beginnings in Hannah’s travail to Samuel’s maturity, discernment of the Lord’s voice, and power in prayer. The ark, a picture of Christ as Israel’s glory, reveals what God commits Himself to and what sustains spiritual progress; the account also warns how spiritual decline gives the enemy room to counterfeit God’s purposes. Readers are called to seek Christ’s place and to persevere in prayer.
