Synopsis

This book has been revised and updated. Power With Purpose is a unique contribution to current Christian literature on the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Writing from a Pentecostal perspective, the author describes the work and purpose of the Holy Spirit as it relates to our daily lives and the historic doctrines of the Christian faith. He provides a historical framework from which the Pentecostal perspective can be compared with that of the Roman Catholic and mainline Protestant views of the Holy Spirit. But above all, he shows us what the Scriptures teach about this vital subject. Here at last is a balanced perspective of the Holy Spirit that will serve the needs of laity and clergy alike. “This book may well become the standard, even the classic, resource on the Holy Spirit in our generation. It is a worthy candidate for such a happy possibility.”—Charles W. Conn John A. Sims is an ordained minister and educator in the Church of God.
