[Susan Clement · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the way Douglas Jacoby makes the reader think outside the box about the topics he writes about and in this book he analyzes all aspects of the Holy Spirit in our lives. I recommend this book to all Christians for a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit.

Many people have false ideas about the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of disciples/Christians. A lot of those false ideas are straightened out in this book.

[Roy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dr. Jacoby gives disciples of Jesus a look into the ministry of the Holy Spirit. This book first covers the basics about the Holy Spirit and then moves to various errors about Him in the Church today. He spends much time dealing with the issues related to the gifts of the Spirit including speaking in tongues. Overall this is a basic but well written study of the Holy Spirit that I do recommend.
