The Gospel of God Concerning His Son Jesus Christ Our Lord

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

Opening with Romans 1:1–17, Austin-Sparks reads the gospel of God concerning His Son as the revelation of an eternal purpose, reaching from God’s foreknowledge to glory. He traces sonship, the calling of believers, and the Spirit’s leading and resurrection power as God forms a people conformed to Christ. The message calls readers to see their lives and trials in light of this purpose and to press toward its fulfilment.
