The Beginner's Guide to Receiving the Holy Spirit

My husband and I bought this book to teach out of for our youth group. They had many questions and this book was an excellent tool to teach from.

This book offers a charismatic view of what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit. The authors also deal with the charismatic gifts of the Spirit such as tongues, interpretation of tongues, and miracles (1 Corinthians 12:7-11). The book does a good job of presenting the person and work of the Holy Spirit from a biblical persepective. The authors also do a good job of sharing various Christians stories and experiences with the Holy Spirit. My only reason for giving this book four stars instead of five is the authors failed to deliver a strong charismatic theology and they did not present other Christians approach to being filled/baptized with the Holy Spirit. I believe a good chapter on others approach would have been helpful. Overall, this is good book if you are interested in a charismatic approach to the person and work of the Holy Spirit.
