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)

Focusing on Paul’s later letters, Austin-Sparks explores the secret once hidden in God and now revealed: His purpose to gather all things in Christ and bring the Church, as Christ’s Body, to His fullness. Beginning with Paul’s ministry and the language of Ephesians, he traces this purpose from its eternal scope into the life of local churches. The message calls readers to seek full knowledge of Christ and to let God’s purpose reshape their lives and fellowship. From the original, unabridged writings of T. Austin-Sparks.
