Summary: The Holy Spirit
Review: I found this book to be extremely well written. I enjoyed every chapter and the lay out of the material made for easy reading. The revelations in the book helped me to understand the quiet work that the Holy Spirit does in my life. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking to understand the Holy Spirit. You will find that there are a lot of questions answered and a lot of thoughts started. Do consider reading this! I found that I was disappointed when I read the last page, only because I was done with the book.
Thank you Steve for a wonderful and insightful look in to the Holy Spirit and His work.

Summary: A great introduction to the Holy Spirit
Review: The Holy Spirit, at least to me, has always been hard to get a handle on, but this book has really helped me understand Him a little better - that the Holy Spirit is a person, distinct from the Father and the Son. Brown goes into the Scripture's portrayal of the Holy Spirit, His function in creation and in the lives of both believers and non-believers, and how He operates (through His gifts, prophecy, and so forth). But the part of this book I find most useful is that Brown is not trying to teach you any techniques or methods you can use to get the Holy Spirit to act in your life - He's already at work in your life, whether you know it or not. Rather, Brown wants to teach you who He is and how to recognize His activity in your life so you can participate in it more fully. Brown includes some hardcore theology and solid Scripture to back up his study of the Holy Spirit, but he uses normal, "non-religious" language to make this book accessible to all readers. For example, Brown points out that one reason the concept of the Holy Spirit is so hard to grasp is that His "job description" is to point to the Father and the Son, not Himself. The book is easy to read and get through, but it's also the kind of book you'll be likely to pick up time and time again as you go deeper into the subject. Well worth the money and time.
