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)

Opening with Agrippa’s words to Paul in Acts 26:28, Austin-Sparks distinguishes Christian faith from religion, church membership, and joining a movement. Through Paul’s encounter with the living Christ, he presents Christianity as a personal relationship with Jesus, who knows and calls each person. The reader is urged to meet Christ, yield to Him, and find life and purpose in Him. First published by "Witness and Testimony Literature" in 1945.
