BEFORE FOUNDING THE BACK TO THE BIBLE BROADCAST MR. AND MRS. THEODORE EPP HAD PLANNED TO BE MISSIONARIES IN RUSSIA, BUT THIS DOOR OF SERVICE WAS CLOSED. UNKNOWN TO THEM, GOD WAS CALLING THEM TO BE MISSIONAIRES IN EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD THROUGH RADIO. FROM THE VERY FIRST, MIDDIOND HAS HAD AN IMPORTANT PLACE IN THE MINISTRY OF THE BROADCAST. THE OTHER COMFORTER, BEFORE AND AFTER PENTECOST, WHY WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT SENT? THE CONVICTING WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, REGENERATION BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, SEALED AND INDWELT BY THE SPIRIT, THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, RECEPTION AND GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT, SANCTIFICATION BY THE SPIRIT, FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT, THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR VICTORIOUS LIVING, THE HOLY SPIRIT IN VICTOORIOUS SERVING, TWO GREAT SINS AGAINST THE SPIRIT, THE HOLY SPIRIT AND POWER.
The book is somewhat spotty and seems somewhat haphazard in its approach. It is theologically sound in places (like most of the last 50 pages) and weak in others. Narrative passages are regularly spiritualized (though generally supported with topic-related didactic passages) which constitutes a big warning flag and is utterly frustrating. Surprise - or not - the author never claims that the Holy Spirit "speaks" to us apart from the Bible and gives a strong Biblical description of how the Holy Spirit guides and directs the believer.
