4.5 stars. Recommended to anyone looking for practical insights into living the Christian life. While I'm sure most readers would deem him a little "old fashioned," it is hard to contest Torrey's consistent turning to the Bible for answers to our questions.
As the title suggests, Torrey focuses around the Holy Spirit, providing a solid overview of Him as a person, then examining the actions of this person from the Scriptures. The writing reads like a sermon series, and, in addition to bountiful ...more

The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit, by R. A. Torrey, is a Christian classic that is hard to judge. I had originally come to the book expecting to find so much to apply to my life. Initially, it was wonderful to read, and there was just so much spiritual food to get from the Biblical applications. Concepts such as I had never before considered were presented to me. Important truths that I felt shamed at not realizing. It was a wonderful time of contemplating the hidden truths (to me) of God's

Torrey's book on the Holy Spirit is a solid Biblical exposition of the person of the Holy Spirit. Every Christian, especially those in denominations who are not as emphasizing the work of the Holy Spirit as other denominations, would benefit from reading this resource, as it places a solid emphasis of the importance of the Holy Spirit in a Christian's life without going to any bizarre extremes.

Very enjoyable read. RA shows an unwavering commitment to what is clearly put forth in scripture. At the same time he puts forth a mass of experience and anecdote in support of the things promised in scripture, but never subverts that order. Much of the book surrounds the key themes of the surety of the promise of the Spirit, the importance of seeking the Spirit in line with what is put forth in scripture, and the primacy of Christian ministry in the working of the Spirit. Torrey does a great jo

Powerful study of the Holy Spirit
Incredible study of the Person and work of the Holy Spirit in the believer and in Christ Jesus earthly mission. The case for a Baptism of the Holy Spirit to equip the believer to the work for which he or she has been called.

Torrey's a favorite of mine, but this didn't overwhelm me with its insight. I recall it being solid, still, though.

Classic work on Holy Spirit
Very good understanding and challenge to understand and participated with the Holy Spirit in ministry calling and life as a Christian.

Enjoyed this book as a part of my study of the Holy Spirit. A few parts I didn’t agree with, at least at this early point in my study, so I may come back to this study later and update it.
This is a fantastic book and is with spending much time prayerful studying and pondering over. I came away with a stronger conviction that Christians are not called to be "soul winners" or to "convert the pagans". This book also enlightened the eyes of my heart as to meeting the breath of God and the breath of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spririt. This book also warmed my heart because I came away knowing that the moment that I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior, He stepped back and

Excellent presentation of the work of the Holy Spirit. There were a number of points made that I had not previously considered.

I'm surprised that this is my first encounter with the author
The book starts off a little slow and tedious, but soon becomes very interesting. Some things seem a little repetitive , but most of us need some repetition in order to pick things up . I thought the book was very inspirational and full of some great advice. I do believe there are some errors in doctrine in the form of overstatements. Not so much that I would call them heresy, but simply misunderstandings. They are similar to some of t ...more

Is The Holy Spirit Residing in You
This book is full of truth, due leaves mgs with many questions. It's the Holy Spirit ours, or are we His? When we ask the Spirit to fill us, is it for the service of God, our is it because we want the "power“ which we deem others to have? Can we walk 24/7, 365 days “filled“with the Spirit? Or are we filled with the Spirit to do God's will? The are many more questions rolling around in me. ...more

One of my three favorite reads and studies on the Bibles teaching on the Holy Spirit and the one I am most like minded with.

This book really taught me about the Holy Spirit, the differences of being baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit.
This book helped me a lot as I wrote my first novel, CLOSET. Torrey has great insight into the work of the Holy Spirit.
Thorough and compelling. Available for free in iBooks.
This book was just what I was looking for to learn more about the Holy Spirit. Amazingly timely, considering it was written in the early 1900s!
Fascinating book, so thorough and revealing, enjoyed it very much.
Solid, thorough and complete
i liked it. very practical and meaningful book on the holy spirit.
Excellent book on the power of the Holy Spirit's work in a believer. A must read for anyone wanting to have a closer relationship to the Lord.

It was pretty good and had some thought provoking concepts. I did not care much for his long section on baptism with the Holy Spirit which did not tie into water baptism at all.
