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)

Opening with 1 John’s “that which was from the beginning,” Austin-Sparks considers how God’s original purpose governs the end and what lasting spiritual testimony He seeks among His people. He draws on Hebrews, Galatians, and Hezekiah’s recovery of the house of God, and traces the roles of divine life, the Spirit’s anointing, and Christ’s blood. The chapters call readers to full growth, spiritual adjustment, and a living testimony preserved against the enemy. From unpublished manuscripts. Published on the web in June 2009.
