Holy Spirit: Filled, Empowered, and Led

by David Young

AN INVITATION TO LET THE HOLY SPIRIT LEAD YOUR LIFE

Imagine you were given the choice between two one marked “The Study of the Holy Spirit” and the other “The Holy Spirit Is Here.” Which door would you choose? In Holy Spirit, David Young encourages the reader to choose the adventure over the classroom. His walkthrough of such key questions as “What is a spirit?” and “What does it mean for the Holy Spirit to live within us?” captivates the reader’s curiosity. Yet the end goal of this exploration goes beyond mere insights to being an invitation to a transformative way of life. Young delves into realities commonly accepted but experienced too rarely, such as the Holy Spirit’s role in making us like Jesus and the role of spiritual disciplines in letting the Spirit lead our lives.

This book challenges us to address a side of God that many find uncomfortable in a way that is engaging and theologically sound.

David’s book is a very winsome and valuable biblical survey of the Holy Spirit, which is, in tandem with much prayer, the foundation of any true disciple making momentum.

— Jerry Trousdale, author of Miraculous Movements

I highly recommend this critical tool for serious preaching, teaching, and personal studying of this important topic.

— Dr. David Roadcup, Professor of Discipleship, TCM International

Reviews

[Keith Honeycutt · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful introduction to the Holy Spirit

David gives us a great starting point in getting to know more about the Holy Spirit. The format helps us to go deeper in our study and deeper in our relationship with Christ, through the Holy Spirit. I highly recommend this book as a starting point in getting to know Him better.

[Tom Funk · Rating 4 out of 5]

A well written concise primer on the work of the Holy Spirit in transforming the Christian believer into the image of Jesus. Good introduction to the issues our culture has with the spiritual, the concept of what a spirit is in the Bible, the Holy Spirit’s person and place in the Godhead, and how he works in the disciples spiritual formation. Not as doctrinaire or polemical as many from this author’s tradition, respectful of those he disagrees with, Young provides a good starter for conversation on this aspect of God’s person. A little too Calvinistic for my liking but not in a disagreeable way.
