Pictures of the Spirit

On the day of Pentecost, there was the sound as of a great wind, and what appeared to be tongues of fire appeared... Particularly since the start of the twentieth century, the Christian world has been in turmoil over the experiences that the Holy Spirit has given to many Christians. But few understand who it is who is producing such a tremendous effect; after all, unlike Jesus, we cannot see the Spirit! Here the Bible does give a lot of help by describing the Spirit in ways that we understand, such as wind, fire or a dove. These illustrations are explained, and suggestions are made for a number of others, both from the ancient and modern worlds. To better understand what the Spirit does, we need to better understand who he is; this book does just that.
