Despite the teaching of the Bible and church tradition, it seems that many Christians can still lack an appreciation of God the Holy Spirit. He has sometimes been valued more for the gifts he bestows than for who he is; or he has been viewed simply as the 'third person of the Godhead'.

However, Keith Warrington's conviction is that the Holy Spirit is more important, more central, more immanently involved in his creation, the church, and individual believers, more often and more strategically, than many Christians realise.

When Jesus left his disciples and went to heaven, he gave the best gift he could - the Holy Spirit - knowing that he will be our dynamic guide and partner as we seek to live as God's people. In this practical, biblically based exploration of the Spirit, Warrington encourages believers to recognize that the same Spirit seeks to encounter us and desires that we encounter him.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    IVP The Bible Speaks Today series of Bible commentaries has proved to be an enduring, popular, informative and highly readable commentary series. Having completed texts on the books of the Bible the series diversified into an excellent series of thematic studies which continue the rich contribution to biblical study. Keith Warrington’s text on The Message of the Holy Spirit is a welcome, well written and informative text on what, for many, is an area that is likely to be challenging and potentially controversial. Warrington together with IVP have crafted a text that provides an excellent study of the evangelical mainstream doctrinal view of the person, working and character of the third member of the Trinity. This text has been cleverly set out in short sections that are easily accessible, largely stand alone but combine to provide the reader with a sound basis to understand this frequently controversial, misunderstood and mis-represented area of fundamental doctrine. This excellent book should be on every pastor’s or Bible student’s bookshelf and will go a long way to providing the background for sound Bible teaching. I would recommend anyone reading this to get a copy, read it and encourage others to do the same. It will be a tool to refer to on many future occasions.
