Meet the Holy Spirit

by Jack Hyles

From the I have been preaching for over 37 years. For almost a quarter of a century, I have pastored the same church. For these many years Wednesday night has been given to verse-by-verse Bible study. None of these studies has been more enriching to the saints than the study of the Holy Spirit. For 16 months we talked of Him, taught of Him, loved Him, spoke of Him and investigated Him. Requests began to come that I bring some of these studies at the nationwide Pastors' School where thousands convene each year at the First Baptist Church in Hammond for a week of study and practical help concerning God's work. So in Pastors' School of 1980 and again in 1981 I taught a series of lessons on the Holy Spirit taken from the lessons taught at the First Baptist Church on Wednesday evenings. Soon preachers and laymen began requesting that these lessons be in print. In answer to these petitions, I ope my heart to you on the following pages and share with you the truth I have shared with thousands.

Jack Hyles has a gift for breaking down complex spiritual truths into every day wisdom, and it is powerful. He introduced some things I had never even thought of yet! There is so much to learn in this book that one read through is not enough.
