I read this book when I was age about 23 , 24. It shaped my life forever! I later become a missionary to my own people, and now a pastor, I am 73 now. I always remember this book. I just came across this morning about Keith Millier new book The Seven fold Spirit on the TV, after all these years, God bless you, brother Keith! I always thought that you were an English man, now I know you are an American! I am a Chinese reside in England, UK. The LORD has done some wonderfull work in our lives! Kim Chan, Leeds.
For a book written over 50 years ago, the message is still strong and relevant. The premise is that Jesus's healing that required a second touch is illustrative of a Christian's spiritual journey; that it takes part in stages. While the author is mainly addressing Christian lay education, I found his analysis applicable in a more general way.
Had some points that were incredible and even better than The Taste of New Wine, that really changed my perspective on the Christian lifestyle. But…also had some points that were a bit of a slog. Would still recommend to anyone who read the first. Very good book on laity.
