Editorial Review:
The Holy Spirit: Activating God's Power in Your Life by Billy Graham begins with a very simple statement: "Man has two great spiritual needs. One is for forgiveness. The other is for goodness." Graham then affirms that "God heard that first cry for help, that cry for forgiveness, and answered it at Calvary" and that "God also heard our second cry ... and answered it at Pentecost." The Holy Spirit, Graham writes, is "the source of power who meets our need to escape from the miserable weakness that grips us," even after one has given one's life to Christ. "He gives us the power to be truly good."
In clear, concise prose, Graham then walks readers through biblical passages that teach about the Holy Spirit. He also describes some related concepts and experiences that are widely misunderstood, such as baptism with the spirit and sins against the Holy Spirit. And he gives readers a solid outline of the signs and fruits of the Spirit (such as love, joy, peace, patience, and kindness). Graham's book may be especially helpful for new Christians, but it will also serve as a helpful reminder to longtime believers. "No person can seek sincerely the cleansing and blessing of the Holy Spirit, and remain the same afterward," Graham promises. This promise is sufficiently grounded in scripture, and offered with such authoritative serenity that many readers will find real comfort here. --Kevin Attwood
Exactly who is the Holy Spirit, and what does He do? In this classic volume, Graham offers a sensitive and comprehensive portrait of this much discussed but often misunderstood member of the Trinity.

Rating:  - A good book about the Holy Spirit
Another good book by Billy Graham. I recommend you to read it. I agree with most of what Dr Graham is saying about the Holy Spirit but regarding "speaking in tounges" I disagree with him. I think it is for every believer and for edification of the induvidual believer. I also think he is to unclear about the need of baptism. I see nothing in the bible to support child baptism and think he should put more effort on making it clear that every believer fist should repent from their sins and receive the ... Read More
Rating:  - Billy Graham on the Holy Spirit
Wonderful, thoughtfully written explanation of the Holy Spirit and how He can be, wants to be a part of our lives. Just what you would expect from Dr. Graham. I sent one to my Baptist deacon father and he asked for 3 more copies for friends.
Rating: - Fullness, Balance, and Challenge
As if attending a crusade event in person, the reader will find the always compassionate, passionate, and caring Billy Graham pleading for unbelievers to believe, believers to come to the fullness promised to them as children of God, and for those needing clarity on this important subject to hit THE BOOK and discover through the Holy Spirit what they need. As I read, I kept thinking, "I miss Dr. Graham." Then, I turned on the TV and one of his "classic" crusade presentations was on a religious channel. ... Read More
Rating: - Extremely well done
This wonderful book was a great comfort to me. The things Graham covers in this book make good sense, and he writes with authority. I think that many of us do not grasp the full potential of our Christianity, and the insights this book offers makes you think. Graham's writing is so gentle and moving.
Rating: - When a person COMES TO CHRIST
I love how Billy Graham writes!! It is so simplistic and so very easy to comprehend. I also love how he gets to the point in the introduction when he says, "Man has two great spiritual needs. One is for forgiveness. The other is for Goodness." Then he doesn't stop there. He then informs us that, "God heard the cry for forgiveness, and answered it at Calvary. God sent his only Son into the world to die for our sins, so that we might be forgiven." This is what Billy has taught for years!! That salvation ... Read More
