“Receive the Holy Spirit, ” Jesus said to his disciples in John 20:22. With the Holy Spirit living in them, Jesus knew that individuals and communities following him as Lord would be empowered to actually become like him in this world (1 John 4:17)—the fullness of what a human being is meant to be—and to minister in the power that comes from him.

Spirit-filled believers are intended to be signs of God’s dynamic, personal, loving, and transforming presence—in action. Embodying Christ’s way of being human and expressing the Father’s transforming love in the world, the Spirit works in us to accomplish the Father’s will.

Receive the Holy Spirit is a seventy-day journey through the Scriptures, exploring the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Through stories, encouragement, prayers, and questions for group discussion, this book is a must-read for Christians who want to experience God’s Spirit at work in their lives.

Discover anew the Spirit’s work in creation—bringing order to chaos, meaning to the meaningless—and reclaim how the Spirit has been doing that same work in us and through the church today. The fruits of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit are available to every believer for becoming like Jesus and leading others to awaken to the eternal hope that is only found in Christ.
