Holy Fire: A Balanced, Biblical Look at the Holy Spirit's Work in Our Lives

by R.T. Kendall

Overview

The Holy Spirit...
Greater than your theology, bigger than denominations, beyond all we can imagine, God's gift to the church and to you

Debate about the Holy Spirit has been around for a long time. In Holy Fire, best-selling author and respected theologian R. T. Kendall sets the record straight about the Holy Spirit's role in our lives and in the life of the church.

If you want to increase your knowledge of this most misunderstood member of the Trinity, or if you long to experience His presence in your life in a deeper way than ever before, this book is for you.

Are you charismatic? He is bigger than your signs-and-wonders events. Are you Reformed? He will not be limited by your theology. As Jesus said of the Holy Spirit, "He blows where He will."
