God gave His Son, otherwise we would be lost. But God also gave His Holy Spirit, and without Him we would be helpless. Only He can give us new, eternal life. Without the Holy Spirit, we could not serve God, for it is only through the gifts of the Holy Spirit that worship is possible. However, today there are many misunderstandings about the Holy Spirit and His gifts. He is often understood as a supernatural means that one can use to make life fulfilling, pleasant, or eventful. This book changes our thinking; it clarifies the great purpose of the Holy Spirit and the meaning of His gifts: to build the church of Jesus and glorify God. Common views are examined and corrected in light of the Bible, and many practical tips help and encourage the exercise of the gifts. A study course complements the book, making it suitable for personal study or group use as a Bible course.
