This book is not merely another instructional guide for living a better life according to so-and-so’s personal opinion. Instead, this book delves into the Word of God, and Chan lets the Scripture do most of the talking. Yes, he interprets and remarks upon his thoughts and feelings, he also lets his readers know that he acknowledges the fact that he does not know everything, and that this is as much of a challenge for him as it is for anyone else.
This book is based on the true premise that today's church focuses so much on God the Father and God the Son, but tends to forget about God the Holy Spirit. In this book, Chan reminds us of the importance and the power of the Holy Spirit, both to the church and to our own relationships with Christ. Chan delves into Scripture about the Holy Spirit and embarks on a journey of remembering, acknowledging, and living in the power of the Spirit.(less)

Definitely would be worth it to read parts at a time.(less)

It addresses a lot of the philosophy and religious symbolism behind the characters, and it just makes you think. A solid read for Lost fans. Just keep in mind this was published after the 5th, but before the 6th season.(less)
