You may have heard a lot about the Holy Spirit? or very little. Christians and churches seem divided over this issue. Some are always talking about gifts of the Spirit, baptism of the Spirit, Spirit-filled people and so on. In other circles, the Spirit seems to be rarely mentioned.

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.

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
Review by Anonymous | 02.12.2007

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.

Highly recommended for believers at all stages of faith
Review by John Rosedale | 12.09.2007

I used this with a group of people who only 12 months earlier had completed a Christianity Explored Course that had been followed by a discipleship course. This study took us 6 months to cover! The group had all been long term church attenders and vary in age from 40 to 70, each member of the group has grown in their understanding of the Trinity through this study and I would recommend it to anyone.

Shows all aspects of what the holy spirit is through a wide range of passages
Review by Anonymous | 28.06.2007

This study I felt is really good, it clearly explains the holy spirit, its purpose and how it affects us as Christians. It looks a vast range of passages from the Old and New Testiment. I would really recommend this study, the individual studies are slightly longer than other studies of this type I have done before but they are worth it.

A Must for every Church
Review by Martin Payne | 20.06.2007

Superb Bible study - "a must for your Chuch" - clear teaching that blows away much wrong teaching and past-on habits that cause beleivers to stumble.

Provides an excellent platform for further discussion
Review by Anonymous | 11.06.2007

Very happy with this purchase, we are currently studying it in our small group and have found it very helpful as a springboard for further discussion. It provides a good base level knowledge, getting rid of any pre-conceived ideas and using the whole of the bible to work through the topics. There is also a very logical process working through the studies which by the end provides a refreshing look at the Holy Spirit, probably in a new light to what you've thought in the past...

v good
Review by Anonymous | 13.04.2007

the book has lots of detail and so is quite heavy for a late in the day study or with a group of Bible study rookies, as in our case, but its worth persevering, set out is good, questions are easy to follow, i have personally found it all v helpful so far, although we are still going through the studies

Thorough, balanced overview of the Holy Spirit
Review by Jonathan Dolman@doctors.org.uk | 12.04.2007

Although a vital part of the Trinity, teaching on the Holy Spirit is often unbalanced and ultimately misunderstood. This book avoids these problems as it systematically tackles all of the major Biblical references to the Holy Spirit including who He is, His role in the Godhead and His work in the life of the Christian. At times the book can appear to be quite academic in its approach as it compares single verses in table form leading to a loss of continuity in some of the studies. However, on the whole the topic is dealt with well. Certain chapters such as those covering the gifts and the final on the hope of every Christian are particularly excellent. The studies are useful for individual quiet times or group studies.
