About This Interactive Book
This book may be read cover to cover, just like any other book. However, we encourage you to explore the optional interactive elements for a more personalized experience:
Each chapter of this book is divided into five suggested daily readings with corresponding devotions at the end of the chapter. You can choose to complete one reading and one devotion per day, or you can adapt these elements to your preference. We suggest that those participating in a group study complete the reading and devotions for one chapter per week.
If you are reading this book as part of the Messenger Series study on The Holy Spirit: An Introduction, we recommend that you watch or listen to each week’s teaching session and answer the discussion questions as a group. Then, read the chapter in the book and complete the devotions. There is one teaching session for each chapter in this book. Discussion questions for each chapter are located after the daily devotions.
Enjoy!
Introduction
When my dad first asked me to help him with this book, I was immediately struck by a sense of disbelief. I thought, He probably hasn’t prayed about this yet. Frankly I did not see myself as a worthy candidate. In fact, thinking about his request caused my stomach to flare like it was in the middle of a breakdancing competition.
I respectfully asked my dad to consider a few alternatives and to spend some serious time praying over the matter (maybe a year or two). Yet after a day of prayer, he was confident that I was the one for the task. It is important to him that the Holy Spirit does not become taboo amongst the younger generations, and he values my input as someone in his mid-twenties. My father and I know that many people—both young and old—will avoid this topic if they don’t understand who the Spirit is and how He functions.
