Discovering the Person of Holy Spirit Alexys V Wolf

The book series Discovering the Person of Holy Spirit by Alexys V. Wolf is a spiritual journey to discover who the Holy Spirit is and the role He plays in our lives. Much like the author, I grew up in a mainstream traditional denomination where the Spirit was stifled. We rarely ever discussed the Spirit. I grew up very uncomfortable with such talk. I praise God that it is no longer true. Scripture tells us that Holy Spirit was sent to dwell within us and to be our Comforter. He lives within us. This is where the Trinity comes in: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Much of what Mrs. Wolf leads the reader toward is total submission to the will of the Lord. Let's face it: most of us are not sure we want to submit. In fact, we know we don't want to submit; it seems to be against our human nature. We want to be independent and self-sufficient. What we have forgotten is that God created everything and without Him we would not be here. The author defines who the Spirit is and the role He plays in our lives. She writes, "The common Christian has become desensitized about the spirit-realm and its validity in today's society." Wolf points out that Satan has accomplished his task by desensitizing Christians. Mrs. Wolf's book series, Discovering the Person of Holy Spirit, is well-organized and well-researched. She uses much Scripture to back her thesis. She ends each chapter with a prayer. This book's format is a reference guide. I can see many uses for this book. First, the average Christian would greatly benefit from the knowledge between the front and back cover. Secondly, pastors and teachers would find this book a great resource for their lessons. Mrs. Wolf obviously spent much time in research and definitely knows her subject. This is one book Christians do not want to miss. Anne B. of Reader's Favorite International Awards Contest
