The Fulness of Life in Jesus Christ

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

“The Fulness of Life in Jesus Christ” centres on the New Testament revelation of “Christ in you” as the secret of Christian life, drawing especially on Christ’s words about the vine and branches. From this union it considers a life that glorifies God and the way from recurring defeat to victory. It calls the reader to look beyond striving and self-reliance to Christ as the source of inward life, fruitfulness, and deliverance. First published in "A Witness and A Testimony" magazines, 1929.
