“Many
people find the Holy Spirit mysterious, confounding—even controversial. Why is
the third person in the Godhead—the one Jesus said would be the believer’s
ultimate source of truth and comfort—the source of such confusion?”
The
premise of this book initially caught my eye, and I requested this book in
hopes of digging deeper and answering some questions. We all know who God is, and we all know who
Jesus is. But the Holy Spirit has
brought up questions with people for some time.
While I
had high aspirations for this title, it didn't live up. I requested this book in June of 2011, and as
of today, December 6, 2012, I still haven’t managed to finish it. I sometimes have a hard time with Christian
self-help books, as it is very easy for someone to use their opinions and steer
people away from what I believe scripture actually teaches. I can’t say for sure if this book did that or
not, because as I said above, I still haven’t finished it. I don’t like that I requested a book to
review and am giving a review when I didn't complete it, but I also have heard
the saying that life is short and you should only read the good ones.
This
may have been a great book, but it never caught me and made me want to read
more.
I
received this book from Waterbrook Multnomah for free in exchange for an honest
review.
