The Holy Spirit
Customer Reviews
Good, but maybe biased to a baptistic viewpoint
Excellenr study, very analytical.
Some comments however do reveal a baptisic standpoint. Which is fine..if you're a Baptist! 
Seriously flawed guide to the work of the Holy Spirit
One of the stated aims of this study guide is to correct widely held misunderstandings about the work of the Holy Spirit. By simply equating the baptism in/with the Holy Spirit with the new birth (becoming a Christian), however, it falls into basic error of its own that flies in the face of the testimony of the scriptures (especially Acts) and of the experience of Spirit-filled Christians the world over. The New Testament contains strong warnings against quenching or grieving the Holy Spirit. Anyone using this guide should be extremely wary of its teachings and pray for revelation from the Holy Spirit Himself.
harder than we thought it would be
Our homegroup have found this study to be quite challenging but we have all enjoyed it.
In Depth Study
We bought this book to study in our Womens Bible study group. We are a mixed group of about 13 ladies in our 20s 80s. There are 8 studies in total.
These studies are an in depth look at the Holy Spirit and are excellent for teaching the biblical view, role and purpose of the Spirit. I would recommend them for anyone wanting to know more about the Holy Spirit from a Biblical point of view, and are suitable for new Christians and old timers alike. For our group it was useful to reaffirm knowledge and for others to correct false teaching.
The one problem our group had was due to the in depth nature of the study we found they were a bit long for the time we had (45 mins). There are several tables to fill in, which are good for giving a cross-reference but took a lot of time to do. I would suggest you would need at least an hour to give this proper study.
I have to rated the studies 5* because the content is excellent and we all commented that wed learnt a lot from doing the study together.
Thorough and in-depth
A great, in-depth set of challenging studies. May need adaptation for use in some small groups as studies could be somewhat lengthy for chatty groups.

very good
We used this resource in our Bible Study Group and found the in-depth study of the Holy Spirit most helpful in promoting discussion and extending our understanding.
Challenging, Eye-opening, and God-gloryfying
I bought these studies primarily because I thought my biblical knowledge and love for the Holy Spirit was not where it should have been.
Not only has it revealed to me the influence of the Spirit in areas of the Bible that I hadn't previously noticed it, it has given me a completely new appreciation of the Spirit's work in passages that I have known for years.
I have used these studies on my own, but they are designed to be used in groups as well. The questions are not patronising, but they are also not overly demanding. They definitely make you think, and are rewarding because of this.
There are 8 studies, which would all probably take an hour or so to work through properly, but you can split them up if you don't have an hour on your hands. I might have had to weigh the quality of these studies against the price, but for £3 that really isn't necessary. Top stuff.
