Narrative During Books The Helper

I discovered a strange phenomenon around two years ago when I began asking for clarifications, illumination and available studies on the Holy Spirit. It seems so little is said in the bible but what is said is powerful. Sermons never center on the Spirit. If God is a trilogy, why is so little said about the one part. Pastors and other learned Christians were reticent to give answers and provided little in the help to readings. I suggested the subject to my bible study and found a lot of fear and resistance. Do we really want to invoke the Holy Spirit who might convict us of sin? I believe God should only be feared in the sense of awe, so I waited, patiently for revelation.
The time came and we studied this beautiful book written by the wife of Peter Marshall. I had my revelation, well, many actually, but the first was on the lines of the ladder. At Pentecost, Jesus tells his followers to go to Jerusalem and wait to receive The Spirit before they ventured on his commission to spread His Word. The revelation was that I was not previously prepared to meet and greet The Spirit. Every rung of the ladder allows for the next rung and they can not be reached by sheer will.
In that sense, this book will be of little use or understanding to someone from outside of Christ and, even, someone new to his presence although Christians should know a lot more about The Spirit than they do. Can you learn more about the nature, yes, I use that word, pesonality and purpose of The Spirit. Certainly, but you will likely discount the Reality of the Spirit. Unless truly open and, inviting, you will not experience His presence and power. Catherine is not afraid to tell stories of little and large incidents where the Spirit has made Himself known and gone to work. Even three years ago I probably would have tossed the book aside and wondered how someone could believe such things in this day and age. Now, I believe without the slightest doubt.
Do I recommed this book to my many non-beleiver friends. I sure do but expect it might teach you more about where I am today than to transform into living word.
Someone who doesn't know The Father or the Son will have little use in trying to know The Spirit who was sent by the Son to take His place here on earth when he ascended.
Peace.

Crit Appertaining To Books The Helper

This book was easy to read, short chapters perfect for morning devotions and really honed in on one subject, the Holy Spirit. The author was born in the early 1900's and died in the 1980's so she was the age of my grandmother which I kept in mind while reading. References to ISIS are missing but there are references to Communism instead. I really enjoyed all I learned from this book.

LIfe was so different, not so long ago

And all inspiring book I read it every year That's how good it is.

I have been researching and studying the Holy Spirit for the last couple of years and this book was recommended to me by a friend. Some questions that I had were answered and I found the book to be interesting and inspiring.

Marshall was born in Johnson City, Tennessee.[1][2] She was the daughter of the Reverend John Ambrose Wood and Leonora Whitaker Wood.[1] From the age of nine until her graduation from high school, Marshall was raised in Keyser, West Virginia,[1] where her father served as pastor of a Presbyterian church from 1924 to 1942.[1]While a junior at Agnes Scott College, she met Peter Marshall, marrying

It's been so long, I don't recall a lot of specifics, but if this is the book I'm thinking of, it was very encouraging and made death (of a loved one or myself) less scary.

This was a great book - I used it as a devotional. I never read so much about the Holy Spirit before and it was extremely helpful and enlightening. I will continue to use as a research book going forward - for Bible studies, retreats and introspection. I recommend this to all working on continued Christian growth.
