Item Description...
Outline The Holy Spirit: Activating God's Power in Your Life by Billy Graham begins with a very simple statement: "Man has two great spiritual needs. One is for forgiveness. The other is for goodness." Graham then affirms that "God heard that first cry for help, that cry for forgiveness, and answered it at Calvary" and that "God also heard our second cry ... and answered it at Pentecost." The Holy Spirit, Graham writes, is "the source of power who meets our need to escape from the miserable weakness that grips us," even after one has given one's life to Christ. "He gives us the power to be truly good."
In clear, concise prose, Graham then walks readers through biblical passages that teach about the Holy Spirit. He also describes some related concepts and experiences that are widely misunderstood, such as baptism with the spirit and sins against the Holy Spirit. And he gives readers a solid outline of the signs and fruits of the Spirit (such as love, joy, peace, patience, and kindness). Graham's book may be especially helpful for new Christians, but it will also serve as a helpful reminder to longtime believers. "No person can seek sincerely the cleansing and blessing of the Holy Spirit, and remain the same afterward," Graham promises. This promise is sufficiently grounded in scripture, and offered with such authoritative serenity that many readers will find real comfort here. --Kevin Attwood

This wonderful book was a great comfort to me. The things Graham covers in this book make good sense, and he writes with authority. I think that many of us do not grasp the full potential of our Christianity, and the insights this book offers makes you think. Graham's writing is so gentle and moving.
When a person COMES TO CHRIST Nov 29, 2002
I love how Billy Graham writes!! It is so simplistic and so very easy to comprehend. I also love how he gets to the point in the introduction when he says, "Man has two great spiritual needs. One is for forgiveness. The other is for Goodness." Then he doesn't stop there. He then informs us that, "God heard the cry for forgiveness, and answered it at Calvary. God sent his only Son into the world to die for our sins, so that we might be forgiven." This is what Billy has taught for years!! That salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christs' sacrifice 2000 years ago on an old rugged cross!! Oh, but it gets better. He then goes further to point out to you that salvation "is for everyone who reaches out and accepts God's gift by receiving Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour." Space does not allow for a complete and utter review of this amazing CHRISTIAN book. But one thing is for sure: it isn't about spiritual enlightenment. It isn't about reaching a spiritual high. It isn't about using any other way to activate the "revolutionary power" of the Holy Spirit any other way than by complete and utter repentance of sin and trust in Christ. Truly a wonderful and amazing book about the power of the Holy Spirit that is only inherited by CHRISTIANS who serve ONE GOD, and ONE GOD ONLY.
Kind, gentle, but not scared of controversy. Jul 13, 2001
It might seem odd that this Seattle boy took a look at this progressive prose written by a great man. While Graham is embraced by society at large, those from subcultures such as myself can learn from his concise and compassionate writings. It was by pure chance I encountered this book, and it was the initial lines that read "No person can seek sincerely the cleansing and blessing of the Holy Spirit, and remain the same afterward." I read on, and indeed, did not remain a stagnant being with resistance to spiritual enlightenment. Through these writings I learned to trust in holy word, and let it lead where my heart desired. Being a vegan and health food nut who has always denounced meat and intoxicants, I was surprised to find that by opening my heart, I soon renounced my judgment on meat eaters, and became attracted to the meditational use of marijuana. I reluctantly smoked, and my spiritual enhancement two-folded within minutes. If it weren't for these inspirational writings of Billy Graham, I would still be eating nothing but legumes and obnoxious with a drab 3-D personality. The one dimensional sensation I have acheived has blossomed my soul. This is a must for Christians and Non-Christians alike. While Billy Graham made no specific mentions of obtaining the results I found, I can't help but think the Beat-Generation tone he uses in his prose is an offshoot of the late Dr. Timothy Leary's style of verbosity flow. This is a beautiful universe, and by opening my mind via reading this book, I have also concluded you should have up to five higher powers, be that they are kind, and that at least two are Aztec or Mayan based.

In the world today we have so many people claiming to know the Holy Spirit. In this book Billy Graham shows that the Holy Spirit is God and what the true gifts and purpose for us is.
