Informative

Lately I have felt lead to learn more about the Holy Spirit, who is a Person all Himself. I am realizing just how much I have taken Him for granted and have not acknowledged Him as I should, especially after all He helps me with! This book does a great job explaining His roles and just who He is. Thank you for taking the time to study and write this. I will definitely be reading it again as I feel it is packed with valuable keys that really need to be meditated over.

Excellent

Excellent writings on the Holy Spirit on who He is to us, why He was given to us, and why we would not want to live without Him. Jesus sent the Spirit of God to us for a specific purpose. We can't survive spiritually without Him. A relationship with Jesus is to know the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as they are one, so can we become one with them. Spiritual life with God, spiritual death without Him. You are given free choice to choose.
