Scripturally based, speaking straight to the soul.

I loved how Mark references scripture to support his topic. I have no problem listening to this book again.

Great book for spiritual growth of a Christian!

This is a must read for all Christians. It explains the life of Christ and how he always worked with the third member of the Trinity (The Holy Spirit) and what that means for believers today. As a pastor for many years, I recommend this book.

Amazing Learning Experience

I learned a lot from this audible. I truly appreciate this knowledge and hope that others will also learn such as I did. I enjoyed every chapter. This audible makes me want to listen to more that you have to offer. Thank you again. I am truly blessed and grateful.

Awesome book!

Easy to listen to and follow along. Mark does a great job of citing the Bible verses for each topic he mentions. I also enjoyed the appendix.

Not what I was hoping for

I’ve long enjoyed listening to Mark Driscoll, but on this one I was disappointed.
Maybe I had unrealistic expectations based on the title and the opening of the book, which seemed to indicate that it would help open up the often neglected area of the Holy Spirit’s work in the lifetime ministry of Jesus, and how we can share in that as believers.
But the book quickly reverts back to very familiar territory and thereafter it reads like a ‘greatest hits’ compendium from what I assume are previous sermons. It tries to cover far too much, and therefore doesn’t really nail any persuasive or fresh messages.
He makes almost no reference to any other authors on this important subject, relying on his own interpretations.
That being said, he remains typically orthodox and evangelical, with some effective use of humour, illustration and oratory flair (more than literary flair, I would say ... the book reads as though he’s giving a sermon, which at least means that it adapts well to audiobook.)
It would be a solid entry-level book for a young or new Christian, and perhaps that is the intended audience. But unfortunately he hasn’t really contributed anything new nor deepened my understanding of this potentially fascinating topic.
