Description
When New Testament writers mention God's pledge to grant his Holy Spirit, their words depict more than just a simple promise to make available his comfort. Rather, they describe a nonrefundable down payment on all the blessings of heaven and a commitment that God will never abandon us until he has completed his work in our lives.
In 'The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit', Donald T. Williams presents a comprehensive study of the Holy Spirit, helping readers answer their most pressing questions about the Holy Spirit, including:
"Is the Holy Spirit working today?
"How can I recognize gifts of the Holy Spirit in my life?"
"What about speaking in tongues?"
"How do I know my life is sealed by the Holy Spirit?"
"How can I identify true assurance of salvation from the Holy Spirit?"
With its readable style, chapter summaries, ideas for practical application, and questions for further reading, this book is an excellent guide for serious personal or group study of the Holy Spirit.
If you are considering serious study of the Holy Spirit - at any level - start with this book.
