REVIEWS:

I consider myself to be a "student" of the Holy Spirit. I have read a number of Bible commentaries on the Spirit, including Billy Graham's book. I have head Francis Chan speak on a number of occasions, and I have read at least one of his other books, but I was "late to this party," and I greatly regret that. I VERY MUCH enjoyed reading Forgotten God. If you would like to be encouraged -- and convicted -- by a solid biblical analysis of the Holy Spirit, seek no more! -Dr. Bob Stouffer

This book is one of those books that will affect you. Deeply. If you wish your church had more passion, more love for people who attend (even once), look like the Acts 2 church; did you ever wonder why it feels like something is missing? Maybe it's because some ONE is missing.

If you long to read a book that will show you how to get more peace, joy, love, self control and the other fruit of the spirit, and the Bible is just not speaking to you as you know it could be---this book might just be the catalyst you need to show you how to live the life God wants you to experience.

If that scares you a bit, then you really do need to absorb what Francis Chan is teaching in this heart-filled message. -Amazon Customer
