Your Friend the Holy Spirit

Morris L. Venden, Pacific Press Publishing Association, Boise, Idaho, 1986, $6.95, paper, 95 pages.

Reviewed by Lillian Guild, Bible counselor, Voice of Prophecy radio broadcast.

Have you ever wished that Jesus lived on earth today and that you could have Him as a close friend and adviser? Venden brings the good news that an other person of the Godhead is dwelling among us. And because the Holy Spirit is not limited by humanity, He can be present everywhere at once. Constantly close to each of us, He is the best friend we could have. He stands beside us as comforter and guide, imparting a power that nothing earthly can equal.

Noncharismatics have a tendency to shy away from talking about the baptism of the Holy Spirit because of a misconception of what that baptism involves. Venden encourages us to understand what the baptism of the Holy Spirit is, why it is necessary, and how to receive it.

Written for Adventist laity, pastors will also be inspired by Your Friend, the Holy Spirit. It gives practical answers to the questions people ask concerning the ministry of the Holy Spirit and their relation ship to this third person of the Godhead.
