Whenever it comes to books on the Holy Spirit, there seem to be two tendencies. On the one hand, there are those books that at best avoid the Pentecostal/Charismatic aspects of the subject and at worst are downright antagonistic. If you would like some good toilet paper along these lines, grab yourself a copy of John Macarthur's Strange Fire. I wouldn't recommend it, however. You can always get some much more comfortable TP at a much cheaper price from your local Walmart or Target. Unless, of course, there is another COVID19 scare or something going on.
On the other hand, there are those Pentecostal writers who set pen to paper and come out with a book that is at best, just plain weird, and at worst downright heretical. Just look at the New Apostolic Reformation and I won't mention any names, but trust me... they're out there. David Diga Hernandez does a good job of writing on the Holy Spirit from a Pentecostal perspective while not getting all weird. He has a writing style that is easily readable and his use of scripture is, for the most part, solid. One little complaint I have in this regard is that he occasionally takes singular events from scripture and makes them representative of how things should be. Yes, God can work in specific ways (his example of Peter's shadow comes to mind) but that does not mean He always will, or even often should, work in the same way. But this is a minor issue in an otherwise great book.
I would still recommend Francis Chan's Forgotten God as my top pick for teaching on the Holy Spirit, but this is probably a number two and the best from a Pentecostal perspective. Get it, read it, and then pass it along.
Very precise and concise. Easy to follow and understand. I like David's style of writing outlining items and breaking it down. I highly recommend this book to anyone.
With questions about the Holy Spirit and need clarification of certain things in the scriptures. Thank you David for writing this book. Now I understand the Holy Spirit much better.
Encouraging book, full of truth backed by the Word of God. Would definitely recommend this to any believer seeking to experience a deeper relation with The Holy Spirit.
If I could give it a 4.5, I would. Holy Spirit is One whom I have never known much about, beyond receiving Him upon salvation. This book really gave me a deeper understanding and has set me upon a path towards a closer walk with the Lord.
Not only is this book a wonderful teaching on Who the Holy Spirit is, but it will also cause you to look into yourself and see more clearly certain aspects of your walk with Him and what you can do to walk ever closer to Him. I highly recommend this book to anyone who doesn't completely understand the Holy Spirit and especially to those who, at times, feel that He has distanced Himself from you.
I have loved the Lord since I was a small child, over half-a-century, but never truly understood Holy Spirit the way I do after reading this book by David Diga Hernandez. You need and deserve to have this knowledge he imparts. Definitely a "keeper" in my opinion.
I can feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit throughout this book. I feel this book provides a comprehensive explanation of the Holy Spirit, who He is, and what it means to have a relationship with Him. The writing is clear, honest, and sincere. Reading this is a life-changing experience for me. Through this book, I come to understand not just the Holy Spirit, but also my faith as a Christian.
Thanks so much Pastor David for being used of God to write this wonderful book. This is the third of your books l have read and enjoyed.
A wonderful read that helped me learn so much about the Holy Spirit. A recommended reading for those seeking to grow in relationship with the Spirit of God.
How exactly Ir received his book, I do not remember. But it appeared and spoken so plainly. I have checked every verse in Hebrew, Greek and English. What a gift an intimate relationship, friendship, with the Holy Spirit of the living Creator and Sustainer of the Eder expanding. Beautiful succinct truth. Taste and see!
I was muslim. Pray for me to have so much fire to preach the gospel and become the carrier of the Glory. Thank You Jesus for leading me to read this book. I want to saturated my life with prayers. Help me God. I want to be with you all the time for eternity. Amen in Jesus' name.
I have since my youth had a friend in Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit and God the Father. This book answers many of the questions of believers. Give it a try and see that it is good.
Wow, this book helped me unlock the power of the Holy Spirit in me and saved me from the mental prison I was in. Only 6 days since reading and my life is completely different. Everyone must read.
Carriers of the Glory: Becoming a Friend of the Holy Spirit (Kindle Edition) by David Diga Hernandez is a prized resource for every believer. Friendship with the Holy Spirit is all we need in these times in order to stay connected to our source as children of God.
I appreciate the flow of the book to describe from scripture the difference between body, soul, spirit. It made a distinct line for me in my mind about how the spirit operates in our lives if we allow him. Easy read tons of scripture.
As I read this book it is evident through the spirit and the experiences of David that he is a friend of Holy Spirit. The Spirit bears witness to the friendship. What better person to tell you about a friend than a friend
I love and respect the Holy Spirit even more now. Thank you so much for sharing your biblical knowledge. This is one of my favorite books written by you. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Phenomenal book. If you want a good book on the Holy Spirit, this is the one. If you have not been introduced to the ministry of David Hernandez, now is the time.
This is a great book, it's very inspirational. Pastor Hernandez explains the Holy Spirit better than any other Pastor I've read or listened to. Whether you're new to the Christian faith or an old timer like me, I highly recommend "Carriers of the Glory".
