How to Be Filled with the Holy Spirit

Great small book with a clear information about the Holy Spirit. A must read to get a better grasp the Holy Spiri.t

After Salvation itself, man's greatest need is to be as filled with the Holy Spirit as the believers at Pentecost were filled. This book contains 4 chapters: 1) Who Is the Holy Spirit? 2) The Promise of the Father; 3) How To Cultivate the Spirit's Companionship; 4) Filled With The Spirit. An excellent exposition of theological depth and practical Spirit-filled Christian living.

[This review refers to the 4 chapter, 58 page version of this work.]This booklet is only 58 pages long, but it may easily be said that no author save the prophets, apostles and reformers have packed so much power into so small a space. There are a multiplicity of theories on "how to be filled with the Holy Spirit," but if you are weary of formulas and three-step approaches from this great mass of experience-oriented teachers then this book is for you. Tozer's understanding is firmly rooted in the holy scripture and is both fully divine and piercingly practical. Be drawn into the presence of God and know the sweet, fragrant power and peace of His Holy Spirit as you are led by this great saint--one who lived and walked in the presence of God and the power of the Spirit. This book contains four messages on the Holy Spirit--the titles are as follows:1. Who is the Holy Spirit?2. The Promise of the Father3. How to Be Filled With the Holy Spirit4. How to Cultivate the Spirit's CompanionshipThere are two other volumes of Tozer's works which contain the same basic content: the first is an expansion of this booklet and the second is a full-length book of sermons on the Holy Spirit entitled The Counselor. While the power and force of Tozer's words is better preserved in this smaller work, the additional content of The Counselor is indespensable to one seeking a truly biblical, charismatic understanding of the Holy Spirit.
