We Beheld His Glory - Volume 1

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

Beginning with John’s Gospel and the Word made flesh, these messages trace the revelation of Christ’s glory as “full of grace and truth,” and the spiritual laws of life, light, and union with Him. Through new birth, the Bread of Life, freedom by the Son, and the healing of the man born blind, they call readers to receive Christ as their life and light and walk in His power. Meditations in John's Gospel by T. Austin-Sparks Prefatory Note The content of this little volume is not intended to be a commentary in the usually understood sense, neither is it an exposition of all that the Gospel of John contains, but just a setting forth of a measure of the spiritual meaning of each chapter. The messages are intended to be more for spiritual life than for Bible study. The reader is asked to bear in mind that the spoken form is retained, which differs greatly from the precise literary style of direct writing. - T.A-S.
