Synopsis

Powerful.  When is the last time someone used that word to describe you? It doesn’t make sense that Almighty God would have children characterized by fear and insecurity. He put His Spirit in us so we could be known for our power (Acts 1:8; 2 Tim. 1:7). Sadly, most believers and churches are known for talent or intellect rather than supernatural power. What’s worse is that we’re okay with it. Could it be that we’ve forgotten the One who distinguishes us from every religion and cult in the world? Through solid scriptural support and compelling narrative, breakthrough author Francis Chan returns us to the Holy Spirit as the Bible describes Him. He reminds us that we were not created and saved merely to survive our time on earth. Chan contends that we’ve ignored the Spirit and are reaping the disastrous results. It’s time for the beloved church of Jesus Christ to reverse the trend of neglect. Let’s pursue the Spirit-filled life of effectiveness.

Goodreads review by John on September 29, 2010

My junior year in High School I picked up the habit of listening to the preaching of Charles Stanley. Most afternoons on the way home from school the dial on my family’s ’79 Corolla was set to 830AM and I listened to his baritone southern cadence. It’s not surprising then, that one of the first Chri......more

Goodreads review by Mike on September 22, 2016

I was more impressed by this book than I thought I would have been and more disappointed by it than I thought I would be. What I mean by this is: For me, pages 32-35 were worth the price of the book. Seriously. If you burned this book after I read page 35, I would not have wasted a penny. There was o......more

Goodreads review by Donovan on December 05, 2016

I read this using the kindle app and now face the dilemma of wanting a bound copy. Back in my early education days I took a class on the Holy Spirit and have always been convinced that we often neglect this aspect of God. I worship in a denomination that seems to have many of its roots grounded in r......more

Goodreads review by Kris on July 04, 2017

A lot of talk, and not much substance. I was going to give this one three stars. But after putting it down and looking at it, I realized that it left me with nothing. There was no takeaway for me. It didn't leave me with a rousing sense of spirituality. It didn't leave me with any emotion, really. If......more
