Experiencing the Spirit

I've read multiple books on the Holy Spirit, and this is by far the best book i've read yet. Simple to read, very "plan and simple" cuts to the chase, and is filled with many revelations. If you are a "believer" who doesn't believe in the Holy Spirits Ministry today (spiritual gifts, baptism, etc) then this book might not be for you just yet! Try reading Jack Deeres book 'Surprised by the Power of the Spirit' and then read this one, both books are written by Dallas Grads, so they are pretty solid. If you tired of "playing Christian" and want to know God, and have a relationship with Him, this book is a GREAT start to understanding how to do that.

What a great book! What a great teacher! This book is like a "Holy Spirit 101" primer, and it's ideally suited for new believers and those who are coming out of cessationism into the freedom of the Spirit. Because of Pastor Heidler's education at Dallas Theological Seminary, he is able to explain the Greek & Hebrew meanings behind the English words and exegete with the best of them. This was an easy & fast read, and it was "meat," not "milk." I highly recommend it!

This is the best book I have read on the subject of experiencing the Holy Spirit's work. The author, understanding most people's difficulty in relating to the Holy Spirit, offers very practical help in learning to know various aspects of the Holy Spirit's ministry in the life of the Christian from salvation to sanctification to the release of spiritual gifts for works of service. The information is helpful toward relating to the Holy Spirit as a Person and not some "Force" or power. It is most encouraging and reviving. I would heartily recommend it as a textbook to be offered to new believer's and quite insightful to mature believer's. This book is filled with Scripture references to reinforce each point along with exciting personal testimonies. It's well worth the price.

Heidler's gem has changed my life. This book was able to open my personality-dominating intellect enough to let the Holy Spirit slip past and right to my heart. In realistic terms, Heidler presents what an encounter with the Holy Spirit is and what it is not. With my anxieties calmed, thanks to this book, I was able to open up and welcome an experience with the living God. A must read! for everyone seeking to know God personally, vibrantly.
