As editor of the “A Witness and A Testimony” magazine published in England from 1925 to 1971, T. Austin-Sparks wrote individual articles as well as series of messages later published as books. This book contains a compilation of his articles from the Austin-Sparks.Net website on the topic: Restoration.
"Today the need is not primarily for the recovery of doctrine and truth. There may be a need in a large area for the restoration of fundamental truth and doctrine to its right place, but when you have it, when you have exact doctrine, you have no assurance of having Life. It is possible to be exact and correct in your doctrine and to be perfectly dead. Whatever may be the need of the recovery of lost truth, the need over all, greater than all, is the recovery of spiritual revelation as to the Lord Jesus, to see Him anew. If there is one thing being emphasized by God in our time it is that He must be given an open way to lead beyond even that which may have been of Himself in a provisional way, to say nothing of the necessity to let go our finalities as to the means and methods which He employs."
