Book Overview
In this deeply spiritual and warmly evangelical book, Dr. Torrey first carefully describes who the Holy Spirit is and how one can come to know Him as a person, just as real as Jesus Christ Himself, an ever-present, loving friend and mighty helper, who is always with us. Then he goes on to describe the work of the Spirit -- in the world and in the lives of Christians. His extensive study of the baptism with the Spirit is especially timely. Few people who read this book will come away without a new understanding of the Holy Spirit and a desire for the rich blessings one can realize through Him.

The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
An excellent book on the Holy Spirit. Purchased one for my pastor and he, too had only good things to say about it. This book draws you to the Holy Spirit in such a wonderful way. Would be very interesting and helpful to any one seeking to experience a closer understanding of the Holy Spirit as the third PERSON of the trinity.
Awesome!

We are living in a day that suppresses the teaching of a triune God---the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. To even mention the Holy Spirit in most churches today is taboo to say the least. There is more reverence given to Calvin than to Holy Spirit. I'm not surprised that this book is rare and hard to find. You won't find it in most bookstores but when you do stumble upon it, the teachings and scriptural references will bring you into a deeper and closer personal relationship with God. I bought this for myself and use it as a hand out for my prison ministry. The information in this book is so important I even bought copies for my two kids so they will be able to have this rare resource. The hardest concept for most, I think, will be to understand it's not about the denominations but about the personal relationship with an amazing and loving God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus didn't die just to save us from hell---He died to give us life---the Holy Spirit lives in believers through faith. Anyway, this book is amazing and highly recommended. Take your time reading it and enjoy the scripture references.
Fall in love with the Holy Spirit
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Torrey, although thorough and systematic in his teaching, presents the Holy Spirit in simple, powerful language that will help the believer see the Holy Spirit's role in their lives, the lives of their church, and in the lives of the lost. Unfortunately, in reaction to the Charismatic movement, most of the fundamental evangelical teaching of the last 50 years has downplayed the Holy Spirit. Because Torrey lived and taught not just before the Charismatic movement, but also during a time of great revival, I feel personally that he has far better balance on the topic than most modern conservative authors. While I doubt there are any evangelical pastors or laymen that deny the Holy Spirit is a person, and a member of the Godhead; the vast majority seem uncomfortable discussing the Holy Ghost. The overwhelming love that He shows us, and his role in the believer's life as put forth by Torrey from the Word of God are the focus of this book.
Unquestioningly THE classic work on the Holy Spirit
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
If you are seeking to understand the application of the Holy Spirit's power, holiness, and guidance in your personal Christian character and witness, then this is the book for you. Not only does Torrey take the reader through the Scriptures to define the person and work of the Holy Spirit, but he also guides the reader through the steps of personal application in their own lives. However, this work is not for the timid or young believer. If you are a fully devoted follower of Christ and ready for the next step, then buy this book now.
