What the Holy Spirit Does in a Believer's Life

Charles Spurgeon Christian Living Classics

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Robert Hall (Editor)

As one of the greastest expository preachers of all time, Charles Spurgeon is eminently qualified to teach on the role of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life. The amazing success of his thirty-eight-year metropolitan ministry in the city of London during the 1800s was said to have been unparalleled in England since the days of Whitefield and Wesley.

Spurgeon credited his success to the powerful work of the Holy Spirit. He firmly believed that the spiritual transformations that occurred throughout the book of Acts were only the beginning of the mighty works the Holy Spirit intends to do. Declaring that Pentecost was not the pinnacle of the church's experience but only the first unveiling of what could and should happen, Spurgeon called upon believers to receive and live up to the full potential of the Holy Spirit.

Life-changing messages await you. Spurgeon's teaching is so solidly biblical, so understandable, so passionate, so wonderfully visual, and so practical that one cannot help but be inspired and challenged.

About the author

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian, John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues, Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861, the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle.

This is the most pastoral book on the Holy Spirit. Instead of long words, theological terms, big sentences, and hard to understand content, Spurgeon breaks down the Third Person of the Trinity so beautifully in a heart-moving and perfectly biblical way! He writes this book to the simple comprehension of a young believer, to the lay person in the congregation, to the broken-hearted heathen seeking to find rest. The content is hugely practical and he urges you to immediately put the knowledge into practice. I adore this book and highly recommend to refresh your love and renew your passion for the Holy Spirit.

Really a life altering, mind-blowing book. I plan to read it again and again!

I first read this about 15 years ago and asked myself almost immediately upon rereading this book why it had taken me so long to get back to it! It is very inspiring and insightful.

Found this quite heavy going and it took me a long time to read but it's Spurgeon and it's excellent.

What's not to like about Spurgeon, his theology, his writing, his personality, his passion. There is much to be learned and embraced of The Holy Spirit. This small work makes inroads to filling that vacancy.
