The Power of My Spirit: Reading Scripture through the Lens of the Holy Spirit - Paperback

by Deborah L. Roeger (Author)

Many Christians are unsure how to responsibly relate to the Holy Spirit. Two extremes are found in the church today. One extreme is to virtually ignore the Holy Spirit. The other is to focus on Holy Spirit activity to the point where the written Word is virtually pushed to the background.

In this 4th volume in the Lost in Translation Bible Study Series, author Debbie Roeger seeks a God-honoring balance between these extremes. She aims to bridge the gap between conservative evangelicals and Pentecostal/charismatics, who often differ in their emphasis on the written word versus the power and ministry of the Holy Spirit.

The Power of My Spirit searches both the Old Testament and the New Testament to highlight the activity of God's Spirit. As in other volumes, the topic is illuminated straight from Scripture. The use of Word Studies helps the reader gain a perspective that is both culturally and historically accurate. The frequent reliance on sound scholarly research results in a unique orientation that inseparably joins well-researched Bible study with Holy Spirit-inspired counsel. In the process, the reader learns how indispensable Holy Spirit is to every Christ-follower. A strong focus in the study is on learning how to let Him lead in every life circumstance.

As with each volume in this series, there is a valuable added resource in the appendix discussing how to do Hebrew and Greek word studies using reliable internet sources.

This 12-lesson study can be read individually, but it is especially valuable as a resource for small group study or for a transforming church-wide study.
