Bible Question (short): May I recommend . . . ? |
Question (full): Dear JonnyRay: Thank you for the list of books you provided. May I recommend a small (208 pages), but powerful, volume on the Holy Spirit? It is a classic. "The Spirit Himself", by Ralph M. Riggs, Springfield, Missouri: Gospel Publishing House, Copyright 1949, 1977. What I like about it is that it covers not only the DOCTRINE of the Holy Spirit, but also the PERSON of the Holy Spirit. Here is a brief sample of the book: "MISTAKE TO USE 'IT' WITH REFERENCE TO THE HOLY SPIRIT "The Holy Spirit must never be considered merely as a blessing, a feeling, or an influence. How far short of the full truth it is to refer to Him as 'It.'" (I do not say that any of you all are doing that. I am merely quoting the above as a sample of Riggs' writing.) --JVH0212 |
