The Sanctuary of God

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 Sanctuary of God” presents God’s eternal purpose to dwell among His people, fulfilled in Christ and expressed corporately in the Church. Opening with Scripture’s picture of the sanctuary and God’s house, Austin-Sparks considers heavenly government, the revelation of Jesus, worship, Christ’s headship, and the altar. The chapters call readers to be formed by the Holy Spirit as a shared habitation that displays Christ’s glory and offers worship to God.
