Summary

The Holy Spirit has been at work in the world since the beginning of time, and continues to act in our own lives. Who is this often-neglected Third Person of the Trinity, and why is his presence so important to us? In this new edition, noted Catholic apologist Frank J. Sheed sheds light on these questions and more with the keen insight, clarity, and wit for which he is famous. Among the topics he considers: What is the Holy Spirit's relationship to the Father and the Son?, How did the Holy Spirit work in Old Testament times, during Jesus' life, and in the early years of the church?, What is the role of the Holy Spirit in our own lives, and how can we live a "life in the Spirit"? Book jacket.
