Book Review: Kind, gentle, but not scared of controversy.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Summary of The Holy Spirit: Activating God's Power in Your Life
Exactly who is the Holy Spirit, and what does He do? In this classic volume, Graham offers a sensitive and comprehensive portrait of this much discussed but often misunderstood member of the Trinity.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
