Summary

Christianity Today 2024 Book Awards, Theology (Popular) category, Finalist

So often, the Third Person of the Trinity gets the least attention. He is considered confusing or mysterious.

Dr. Gregg Allison has spent his life devoted to studying and teaching theology, and this concise and practical book approaches the truth given to us in God's Word about the Holy Spirit with curiosity and wisdom.

For the everyday believer wanting to know God better, this book will broaden the reader's awareness of the Person and work of the Holy Spirit—God, Gift, and Guide. The Spirit is the best gift we are given after our salvation, the One who dwells within those who love Him. 

This book is an invitation to live with an awareness of His presence in our everyday lives.
