review 1: I really liked this book. It reads like a long sermon or a bunch of related mini sermons. A good chunk of this book can be found in Bill Johnson's sermons. More than once I found myself realizing that I had already heard some of the same things before. That doesn't mean I thought it took away from the book though. This book is full of wisdom and worth reading multiple times. It doesn't contain formulas on how to "host the presence", although it does contain examples. It isn't a treatise on the subject, although Johnson does support what he says with biblical examples. The best part of this book is the passion Johnson shows to see the Holy Spirit present in our lives. He tears down the lies and false notions that prevent us from walking close with God, and fosters a desire ... moreto submit ourselves to the Holy Spirit and see God's presence made manifest in our lives.
review 2: I'll start by saying that this book would benefit from the attentions of a good editor... and proof-reader. It is full of typos, and can be quite rambling in style, meaning I had to keep stopping & dig for the meaning/intent (not necessarily a bad thing!).However, having said this, I cannot recommend this book highly enough... I've found myself quoting from it for weeks! I feel undone by it... inspired... challenged... galvanised... My mind is expanded, my spirit thirsty, and my heart lusting after more of God. This is a revelation to me... so profound, and yet so, so fundamentally simple. Having just finished reading, I now intend to start again with a pencil & work through it again to pull out more of the meat, more of the meaning, and more of the application for my life & walk.I might have knocked of a star for the editorial issues, but since the content more than makes up for it, 5 stars is somehow too few... less
