I just finished reading our copy of The Holy Spirit by Adam Hamilton. Hamilton freely admits his book does not cover everything about the Holy Spirit but is more of an introduction which is easily readable. He has a great way of personalizing the material and covers many thoughts, scriptures, and ideas. The book has 5 chapters and is only 141 pages but is a must read for anyone interested in the Holy Spirit.
