About this book

Brengle explores the Holy Spirit’s work in Christian life, opening with Jesus’ promise to the disciples in Acts: “Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.” He considers the Spirit’s witness, cleansing, guidance, prayer, and power for service, as well as holiness amid suffering and the struggle against sin. The chapters call readers to seek the Spirit’s fullness and let it shape their character, speech, and work.
