New Releases by Doris Rikkers

An accessible guide on understanding what the Bible says and reveals about the Holy Spirit. Readers are familiar with God, the Father, and Jesus, his son. This book, however, explores the Spirit, the sustainer of creation. Without its presence the world would not be what it is and would return back into the darkness and chaos from which it originated. In THE SPIRIT TODAY, Doris Rikkers shares stories from the Bible that show the Spirit at work in the Old Testament and the New Testament, with application for today. The focus is solely on the Spirit-what it does, who it works with, and what happens after it has worked in and through someone-and are presented in lively narrative, stripped of the anecdotes, wordsmithing, and other mechanics often used to communicate biblical truth.
