Ask a room full of Christians to describe the Father, and they'll have plenty to say. Ask them about Jesus, and they'll tell you his story. But ask them about the Holy Spirit, and the room often goes quiet. He's the member of the Godhead many believers know least, and the one surrounded by the most confusion. Some picture him as an invisible power. Some treat him as a feeling during a moving song. Others hear friends describe healings and tongues and wonder what they're missing.
Who Is the Holy Spirit? cuts through the confusion by going back to the Bible. Chapter by chapter, readers follow the Spirit from the first page of Genesis, where he hovered over the waters, through the judges, kings, and prophets of Israel. They watch him come upon Jesus at the Jordan and stay with him all the way to the empty tomb. They sit in the upper room as Jesus promises the Helper, and they stand in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost as the church is born. Along the way, they learn how the Spirit gave us the Scriptures, why the miraculous gifts of the early church came to an end, and what it means for the Spirit to live in every Christian today.
Clear answers to hard questions. Readers learn who was baptized with the Spirit and why, how the miraculous gifts were passed on, and what Paul meant when he said "the perfect" would come, all explained plainly from Scripture.
Stories that open the door. Each chapter begins with a story from a beloved film or classic book, from Charlotte's Web to The Sound of Music, that sets up the big idea and makes it stick.
Built for study, family, or class. Every chapter closes with four practical takeaways and five talking points, each paired with a passage to look up, so readers can dig into God's word for themselves.
The book handles tender subjects with care. It speaks kindly about friends from other churches while holding firmly to what the Bible teaches. It reassures readers who have worried about the "unforgivable sin." And it leaves them with a simple, confident answer to the question every Christian eventually hears: Has the Holy Spirit ever talked to you? Yes. Every time we open the Bible he gave us.
Who Is the Holy Spirit? joins What Is the Trinity? and What Is Baptism? in helping young readers understand the great truths of the faith. It's an ideal resource for personal study, family devotions, and Bible classes that want to know the Spirit as the person he is.
