The Spirit - Giver of Life
Who is the Holy Spirit? Is he a ‘He’ or an ‘It’? Why can’t I see him? What does he actually do? How do I ‘get’ him? And should I actually want him?
In his easy-to-read style, Edward Surrey uses stories, humour, and loads of the Bible to teach us about the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is at the centre of the Christian life, and he is critical for following Jesus.
This book will not only show you what a transformed life should look like, but how God powerfully works through his Spirit to give you the ultimate life worth living.

Edward Surrey achieves much more than biblically informing our often vague understanding of the Holy Spirit's identity; he shows practically how the work of the Spirit informs the Christian life and shapes the Christian community.
Made easy to read by his conversational style, disarming humour and clear analogies, Ed demonstrates both pastoral sensitivity and a preacher's sharpness in applying God's truth. This offering will leave you with much to consider about the Holy Spirit: the common error of separating his work from Jesus'; how we partner with the Spirit in our own sanctification as well as others; and whether we have grasped the privilege of being involved in God's mission, empowered by him who is with us until the end of the age.
