    About this ebook

    At the heart of the Christian is the belief in a God who is three in one, Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I cannot imagine a church without the fruit and the gifts of the Holy Spirit being evident in it. Yet many, even within charismatic-pentecostal churches are uninformed about the third character of the Christian Trinitarian God. Some treat the Holy Spirit as an impersonal force or power; others believe that by merely speaking a set of words the Holy Spirit will act as if by magic. 

    This Course, profoundly influenced by more celebrated thinkers and theologians than me, aims to introduce people to the real person of the Holy Spirit of God. This book gives a taste of some of the insights explored in ‘The Holy Spirit Course: More than just words.’

      I get words all day through;

      First from him,

      now from you!

      Sing me no song!

      Read me no rhyme!

      Don't waste my time,

      Show me!’

      (Alan Jay Lerner, Show Me, from My Fair Lady)

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

      In preparing this material, I am entirely in the debt of two authors, Clive Calver and David Pytches. Try as I might, I have struggled to find two authors, who have captured the essence of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit as well as they have. Clive Calver's, 'The Holy Spirit,' was first released in 1984 by the Scripture Union, a small book with huge content. David Pytches', 'Come Holy Spirit,' published in 1985 by Hodder & Stoughton, has lived up to its subtitle, 'Learning How To Minister In Power.' I recommend both these books, and believe it is worth trawling the internet to find copies.

      ~

      This course has come out of a lifetime of ministry, and I have tried, wherever possible, to quote my sources. However, a lot of my content has come from my handwritten notes, scrawled down at lectures and conferences and reproduced here. I have listed at the back of this book, all of the books I used in my initial preparation for this course, and any sources I have discovered since. If I have inadvertently failed to quote a reference, I do apologise, and I request
