The Holy Spirit
Description
There are plenty of books around that will claim to offer insight into the work of the Spirit...but what does the Bible actually say on the subject?
This Good Book Guide has been put together from a survey of every single verse in the Bible that mentions the Holy Spirit and His activity. It will help you discover what God's Word means when it talks about being 'filled with' or 'led by' the Spirit. Or the differences between the Spirit's work in the Old and New Testaments. You may be in for some surprises!
But most of all, this Good Book Guide will show how your life can and should be changed and shaped by the Spirit of God, who gives us life, and brings glory to Jesus Christ.
Please note: These studies take slightly longer than a typical Good Book Guide study.
Other information
The Good Book Guides have been developed to ensure that each session not only seeks to uncover the meaning of the passage and see how it fits into the big picture of the Bible, but also leads people to apply what they have learnt to their lives. Flexible and practical, the Good Book Guides are ideal for small groups, or individual study.Table of contents

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. ![]()
