Good book! The author says a lot of things that I've heard many times before, but I like the quotes he uses to back up and unpack his points. It is very accessible and is supported by personal experience stories. The last few chapters are the most valuable in my opinion, especially the parts on joy and impartation. I may also be biased because I know I have a very deep relationship with the Holy Spirit already, so I'd imagine this book would hit differently for someone who hasn't experienced that kind of intimacy with him yet. It is a good introduction, but I dont think I would recommend his particular book over others that I recommend for those just starting to know the third person of the Blessed Trinity. On another note, it has a significant number of typos.

A good book. I found the second half more valuable than the first. Lots of good quality teachings!
