Spirit Rising
Description
What will God do when you open your life to the Holy Spirit?
Christianity is impossible without the Holy Spirit. So why do we talk so little about him? In Spirit Rising, Pastor Jim Cymbala combines biblical insights with stunning stories of the Holy Spirit's work to help you experience God's power in a new way.
Nothing will change your prayer life, your church, or your study of God's Word more than opening your heart to the Spirit. So if you want more excitement and joy, come discover a deeper understanding of how the Holy Spirit moves--and how you can join him.
"Jim Cymbala invites you and me to raise our sails and ride the warm winds of God's Spirit. His careful study and personal credibility merge to create this guide to power-packed living."
--Max Lucado, pastor and bestselling author
