In this book, Tyler Staton explores the nature of the Holy Spirit (as best as any human can) using stories from the Bible and anecdotes in his life. I learned so much from Tyler’s other two books, and this third book did not disappoint. I look forward to rereading Biblical passages I have read hundreds of time with new insight. In addition to the excellent content, the structure of the book is well done. The first part details the Holy Spirit from creation to Jesus to the early church to today while the second is an application that readers are invited to practice.

Thank you NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

This book was such a refreshing read on a topic that I have been wrestling with myself in the past year. Highly recommend if you're looking for a revival of your spiritual life and walk with the Lord.

This was a really good exploration of a topic which isn’t covered much in sermons at least in the churches I attend. The author laid out teaching in a gentle and organised fashion and covered some topics like healing and prophecy in ways that were sensitive and sensible. Thank you for writing this book and I hope it reaches a wide audience.

As with everything I've read by this author, this was very sincere, reflective, and thought-provoking. Highly recommended!

Tyler Staton is a storyteller. This book is filled with story after story about the Holy Spirit moving in power, in ways we understand and in ways we don't. It is a book very much needed for the church: our lack of understanding about the Holy Spirit leads us to live lives that are nothing like what we are shown in scripture. Staton addresses the core roots of our lack of holy ambition regarding the Holy Spirit, and he cautions us not to live in fear or seek power wrongly, but to come humbly and expectant. I appreciated the healing and suffering chapters the most. Staton writes with kindness and the heart of a shepherd, seeking to remove harm from the flock. I loved the comparison between Simon the Sorcerer and Nicodemus, two characters who I never would've thought to compare, but their stories really help bring the idea of going all in to life. If you want an introduction to the Holy Spirit, this book is a great place to start.
