- "Living in the Spirit. The Holy Spirit continues to be at work around the world, as numerous renewal movements have attested. Yet much confusion and controversy remain regarding the Holy Spirit's activity. In this classic study, John Stott provides clear biblical exposition of the promise, the fruit, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He offers particular guidance on the nature of the baptism of the Spirit and whether certain spiritual gifts and experiences should be normative for all Christians. Always irenic and gracious, Stott points the way to both greater biblical understanding and deeper fullness of spiritual life."-- back cover.
