The Battle For Life
by T. Austin-Sparks
This book is an updated edition that includes alterations that T. Austin-Sparks made when he re-published it in "A Witness and A Testimony" magazine in 1970-71. Original, unabridged copies of the book are still available from Emmanuel Church (more information on the Resources page). It was re-published in the magazine with this introduction:
"The book with this title has been out of print for some time, but we are frequently being asked for it. There are some difficulties in reprinting at present. We have several waiting to go to the printers, but the Lord will have to facilitate in the matter. We do feel that this book, The Battle for Life, has a vital message for our time, and we have therefore decided to reproduce it in A Witness and a Testimony... There are some slight alterations and additions in its form as here."
