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)

“The Rights of God” explores God’s claim to rule in His people and to have His purpose realized in the church, His spiritual house. Opening with 1 Corinthians 1 and the cross as the starting point of God’s work, it also traces Elijah’s prophetic witness and Christ’s perfect expression of the Father’s will. It calls readers to surrender human self-rule and live in dependence on God, so Christ may have pre-eminence in them. This book was first published in German as "Die Rechte Gottes" and was from notes taken from messages spoken in Switzerland in 1936. The reader should therefore not expect the usual T. Austin-Sparks style, and of course it is in a condensed form.
