About this ebook

The "spirit of sonship" is an apostolic grace which brings about the spiritual maturity of the believer, the revival of apostolic Christianity, and ultimately, the maturity of the church in preparation for the coming of Christ.

This important book reveals that the values and heart attitudes of what we may call the spirit of sonship is the very nature and essence of authentic apostolic New Testament Christianity.

You will discover a fresh approach to understanding and walking in grace, through relationships.  The subject is huge, and wonderful; the whole of the Scriptures and all of salvation history must now be seen in the light of sonship and its implications.

Ratings and reviews

This book was one of my favorites of 2014. Someone recommended it years ago and I dismissed it. Thankful that the Lord brought it back around. Very balanced, sound doctrine.

Could be shorter, but great book

Great book

Since 1989 John has, under the leading of the Holy Spirit, sought and received revelation about apostles and the apostolic nature of ministry, and what this means for the Church.  This has been published in his unique and ground-breaking book The Apostolic Revelation.  John continues to receive fresh understanding, and has now written this book,  The Spirit of Sonship, on relationships in the church, which is the heart of apostolic life.  

John's wife of 43 years is Hazel, and they have 8 children, all of whom are active in the church and ministry with them.
