Read any good books on the Holy Spirit lately?

Just wanted to see what was out there and what issues are being raised. Any suggestions or brief reviews?

The Shack
"Justification: God's Plan and Paul's Vision", by NT Wright

I've got a blog post or two on the latter..... though I'm not sure I really emphasised the perspective on the Holy Spirit the book gives.; ▶ Reply to This

Mark Stibbe's recommendation of it: 'There are many who emphasise the Word but neglect the Spirit. There are also many who emphasise the Spirit but who neglect the Word. There are few who keep both in balance, but Simon Ponsonby is one of the few. With the help of this book, the few may hopefully become many'.

I read it a few years ago and remember it being hugely inspiring as well as theologically rigorous. In fact, must get it out to have another read!; ▶ Reply to This

I've heard so many good things about 'More'. Hearing your feedback on it, I'm keener than ever to get my hands on a copy.

Thanks for the tip!

They are by Jack Deere and are called Surprised by the Voice of God and Surprised by the Power of the Spirit. The two build on each other, and as well as including an excellent overview of the Biblical Basis for the work of the Holy Spirit it also details his own fascinating story from a sceptic of the Holy Spirit to a man living out an incredible Spirit filled ministry. Just talking about it again makes me want to pick up my copies again!; ▶ Reply to This

I would recommend two books, Good Morning Holy Spirit by Benny Hinn and The Most Important Person on earth by Myles Munroe. Both these books impacted my life. The Holy Spirit is so misunderstood and rarely talked about as a being He is generally not known other than being a power source or a thing. But He is a person with emotions and a will and someone we should all have an intimate relationship with. As a Worship Leader I cant imagine leading worship without His presence and direction. Keep seeking after Him!
