Synopses & Reviews
Best-selling author and respected theologian R. T. Kendall presents a balanced, biblically grounded understanding of the person, gifts, and work of the Holy Spirit in our world today. The Holy Spirit does not belong to you. Are you Charismatic? He is bigger than your signs and wonders events. Are you Reformed? He will not be imprisoned in the cell of your cessationist doctrine. The Lord Jesus said of the Holy Spirit, He blows where he will.” The words of C. S. Lewis about the Christ-figure Aslan in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe are just as true for the Holy Spirit, "He's not safe, but he's good."
Debate about the Holy Spirit has been around for a long time. Holy Fire sets the record straight about His role in individual lives of believers and in the life of the church. You will discover that miracles, blessings, and spiritual gifts such as healing and prophecy all have their proper place, but you also must rightly divide the scriptures if you seek to truly represent the Spirits work in your life.
