review 1: FABULOUS BOOK -- ONE OF THE BEST EVER WRITTEN ON THE HOLY SPIRIT!!Thank you Robert Morris for writing this book and clearing up a lot of common misconceptions about the Holy Spirit. Robert addresses the topic head on that so many pastors are reluctant to talk about. I've spent my whole life in church but don't recall a pastor ever going into depth about the Holy Spirit, The Holy Spirit's reason for being, the Holy Spirit's role in the trinity and all the promises and benefits that are available to Christians who want to grow in their relationship with Him. Robert builds each chapter on a solid foundation of scripture and teaches so many things that I never heard or saw before in the scriptures. Robert's style is funny, engaging and informative. I have a new favorite teache... morer! Can't wait to read more books written by Robert Morris. I led a woman's Bible Study using this book and the DVD and I can honestly say it was life changing for so many of us. Thank you Robert for sharing the truth about the Holy Spirit.This book was apparently written from an excellent series of sermons that Robert did called My Best Friend -- The Holy Spirit. You can find them on the Gateway church website. Each of these sermons corresponds to particular chapters in the book:Sermon #1: "Who Is He?" corresponds to Chapters 1-4Sermon #2: "Is He A Person?" corresponds to Chapters 5 - 7Sermon #3: "Is He Penecostal?" corresponds to Chapters 8 - 9Sermon #4: "Does He Baptize?" corresponds to Chapters 10 - 12Sermon #5: "Is He Charismatic?" corresponds to Chapters 13 - 16Sermon #6: "Does He Speak In Tongues?" corresponds to Chapters 17 - 20Along with the sermons online, there are discussion note outlines and discussion questions that you can print out to correspond with each sermon. This makes for a great Bible Study to just review the online videos and use the discussion questions, but the book is SOOO good that people will want their own copy of it. There is complete overlap between the book and the online video sermons. I had also purchased the DVDs for this book. They are very similar to the online sermons but are a little shorter and Robert is a bit more reserved. The DVDs are each about 20 minutes and very similar to the online videos. I actually prefer the online videos which were about 30 - 35 minutes each. Robert is a little more passionate in the online videos of his sermons vs. the DVDs.There are so many options for how you might want to experience this material but you will not be disappointed with any of it!! Just watch the first online video for free and you will be hooked! Apparently they will be developing a study guide to go along with the book but I haven't seen this yet.
review 2: If you are a Christian, you need to read this book!!! This book is an excellent source for any and all Christians who want to know the third person in the Trinity, The Holy Spirit, better. For any who want to walk more fully in the the anointing of God through Jesus and most specifically through the Holy Spirit. He is often misunderstood and greatly understated, and in this book we are introduced to Him in a format that is easily digested, with even some points of humor but always deep insight and wonderful knowledge! Also makes use of a lot of scripture, so all assertions seem to be very sound and biblically backed up. Note: I received this advanced copy reading for free from WaterBrook Multnomah publishers so that I could review the book for their site, Blogging for Books. However, all of my reviews are my own and are entirely honest. less
