About this book

Murray follows the Holy Spirit’s work from Christ’s promise in John’s Gospel and the outpouring at Pentecost through the teaching of Paul. He explores the Spirit’s indwelling, guidance, power, prayer, and formation of love and unity, calling believers to depend on the Spirit, walk in obedience, and live filled with him in service to Christ.
