Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is impossible to love God and at the same time be dispassionate about the study of God. Deep devotion to Jesus and an all-consuming desire to see his glory fill the earth should fuel the passion of anyone who ventures to write about God and help illuminate other people’s understanding of God and his ways. Few themes call for as much of a blending of mind and heart as that of the Holy Spirit. The global spread of Pentecostal Christianity, often in context of urban poverty, has attracted much attention. The movement highlights a hunger for the experience of God in our world and provides millions of poor believers with hope for social transformation. Yet spiritual experience needs a fully biblical understanding of the Holy Spirit with which its claims can be properly assessed. Ivan Satyavrata provides an introduction to the Bible’s teaching on vital issues and questions, many of which have been, and continue to be, a source of confusion and controversy amongst Christians. Combining scholarly enquiry with accessibility, his deep theological reflections and passion for unity will contribute to constructive dialogue and appeal to a wide readership.

Book excerpt: Presents the Orthodox perspective on who the Holy Spirit is, where the mystery of God comes alive. Delving deep and subtly into Orthodox tradition and theology, The Giver of Life articulates the identity of the Holy Spirit as the third Person of the Trinity as well as the role of the Holy Spirit in the salvation of the world. Written with a poetic sensibility, Fr. Oliver begins with Pentecost, an event uniquely celebrated in Orthodoxy as a time when greenery of all kinds is brought into churches. "The splash of green foliage calls to mind not just life, but a special kind of life. It is the life that transcends biological existence and flows from the very Godhead Itself; it is life that's a state of being—immortal, everlasting, changeless. Ferns and flowers fade and die, but souls filled with this ‘life from above' flourish forever." Reflecting on the relationship of the Holy Spirit to the Church, to the world, and to the human person, Giver of Life looks to the impressive biblical and liturgical tradition of Orthodox Christianity. This is a book weighty in content but accessible in tone, not an academic study of the mind, but a lived experience of the heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Holy Spirit, Lord and Giver of Life" is a 28 Week, 233 page Bible Study written specifically for the Catholic Church community. The goal of this Bible Study is to introduce you to the Holy Spirit. Jesus wants us to get to know him right away. He told his disciples "don't leave the city ( DON'T MOVE, DON'T DO A THING ) until you have received power from on high" ( Luke 24:49). That power is the Holy Spirit who came on Pentecost to the church to empower them to be the church and to spread the news of Jesus Christ to the whole world. You and I are part of that church and part of the plan to bring Jesus to the world that needs him. We are simply immobile and ineffective and completely powerless without the Holy Spirit. Jesus told them to wait for the Holy Spirit, and he is telling us the same thing today. Stay tuned and plugged in and you will find yourself immersed in the Word of God, spreading the Gospel and doing the will of the Father, through the Holy Spirit. We will find out who the Holy Spirit is, why he came, how he empowers us and we will receive that power ourselves as we renew our lives through him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Spirit, being somewhat forgotten is an occupational hazard. The Holy Spirit is so actively involved in our lives that we can take his presence for granted. As they say, familiarity breeds contempt. Just as we take breathing for granted, we can take the Holy Spirit for granted simply because we constantly depend on him. Like the cane that soon feels like an extension of the blind man’s own body, we too easily begin to think of the Holy Spirit as an extension of ourselves. Yet the Spirit is at the center of the action in the divine drama from Genesis 1:2 all the way to Revelation 22:17. The Spirit’s work is as essential as the Father’s and the Son’s, yet the Spirit’s work is always directed to the person and work of Christ. In fact, the efficacy of the Holy Spirit’s mission is measured by the extent to which we are focused on Christ. The Holy Spirit is the person of the Trinity who brings the work of the Father, in the Son, to completion. In everything that the Triune God performs, this perfecting work is characteristic of the Spirit. In Rediscovering the Holy Spirit, author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton introduces readers to the neglected person of the Holy Spirit, showing that the work of God’s Spirit is far more ordinary and common than we realize. Horton argues that we need to take a step back every now and again to focus on the Spirit himself—his person and work—in order to recognize him as someone other than Jesus or ourselves, much less something in creation. Through this contemplation we can gain a fresh dependence on the Holy Spirit in every area of our lives.

Book excerpt: The Holy Spirit has been at work in the world since the beginning of time, and continues to act in our own lives. Who is this often-neglected Third Person of the Trinity, and why is his presence so important to us? In this new edition, noted Catholic apologist Frank J. Sheed sheds light on these questions and more with the keen insight, clarity, and wit for which he is famous. Among the topics he considers: What is the Holy Spirit's relationship to the Father and the Son?, How did the Holy Spirit work in Old Testament times, during Jesus' life, and in the early years of the church?, What is the role of the Holy Spirit in our own lives, and how can we live a "life in the Spirit"?

Book excerpt: Reflecting the Third Article of the Nicene Creed, The Lord, The Giver of Life describes God and creation according to the redeeming work of the Holy Spirit. Aaron T. Smith shows that it is not immateriality and materiality, which define "God" and "world," but reflexive capacity for otherness realized in covenantal history.
