There are plenty of books around that will claim to offer insight into the work of the Spirit?but what does the Bible actually say on the subject?
This Good Book Guide has been put together from a survey of every single verse in the Bible that mentions the Holy Spirit and His activity. It will help you discover what God's Word means when it talks about being 'filled with' or 'led by' the Spirit. Or the differences between the Spirit's work in the Old and New Testaments. You may be in for some surprises!
But most of all, this Good Book Guide will show how your life can and should be changed and shaped by the Spirit of God, who gives us life, and brings glory to Jesus Christ.
Please note: These studies take slightly longer than a typical Good Book Guide study.

Leader's Guide
Focused on a core passage and questions, each session contains the following features:
TALKABOUT: a question, based on people's opinions or experiences, designed to get participants talking to each other.
INVESTIGATE: the Bible text is broken up into manageable sections, with questions that aim to draw out the meaning clearly and systematically.
EXPLORE MORE: these optional questions delve into other parts of the Bible to cross reference things that have been learned from the passage.
APPLY: The first part of Apply draws out general practical lessons to be learned from the Bible text under discussion. The second part, Getting Personal, is designed to stimulate each individual to think about changes that they need to make and pray through in their own lives.
PRAY: The prayer section, divided into thanksgiving and requests, is based on the truths that have been learned from the Bible, with the aim of teaching ourselves to pray like the first Christians as they responded to the Word of God.
The extensive Leader's Guide provides historical background information, explanations of the Bible texts for each session, ideas for optional extra activities and guidance on how best to help participants uncover the truths of God's Word.
