A Chasing of the Wind: An Encounter with the Winds of the Holy Spirit

DiAngelo's story has a local flavor and takes the San Francisco Bay area reader through a fast paced trip. He gives us a glimpse into the history of evangelical traditons of the 60's and 70's. His command and skill of painting colorful word pictures is a rare gift. For those of us who lived through this period, in the Bay area, thousands of additonail words and pages of memories flashed before our minds. Evangelical traditions took on new meaning as each page of the story unfolded. The story is both profound and heart searching in it's simplicity.Danny made himself vulnerable as he related his coversion story, a miraculous spiritual awakening, even as he has made himself vulnerable by takinng a firm stand, based on conviction in the beginning of the Genesis Worship Center.I am eagerly looking forward to the sequal. Danny is a masterful story teller.

This book was very easy to read. I purchased it due to the book being endorsed by Rodney Howard Browne, more than any knowledge of the author. However it is an awesome testimony.I wouldn't say it was in the 'life changing' category..but its been a long time since I have read a book that was as hard to stop reading as this one. I got the impression that the book has been written a bit too early as the book ended with DiAngelo leaping into full time ministry and I would say that there is still a lot to happen.If you are a 2nd (or 3rd) generation Christian, then this book will have a particular appeal to you, as DiAngelo writes about growing up in church, pretending all the right words/actions, but it all being an act...until he had his own unique encounter.

Gripping story of a former preacher who realizes his own hypocrisy. Search for significance is common to every person in some way or another. DiAngelo's story is inspiring and expertly crafted.

After reading this book by Rev DiAngelo I was truly blessed. It was very moving, very real, and very inspirational. You also really come to see how God is so merciful and gracious in all our lives. To read how God had his hand on Pastor DiAngelo's life from his calling to the ministry when he was a boy to the fulfillment of it when he finally surrendered his life to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And even all those years of running away from God and the church we see how God always kept his hand on Rev DiAngelo. This book will relate to so many people out there experiancing the same things. This book was a real page turner I read it in a 2 days. It usually takes me weeks to finish a book! The final thing I came away with was that if you can give it up, you can have it all! Thank You Pastor DiAngelo for writing this book under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, it really shows.

I saw the author, Danny DiAngelo, on Pat Robertson's "The 700 Club," and I was really inspired. If you feel like you're looking in all the wrong places to find life fulfillment, this book is for you. The author's gripping story will change your life!
