For too long, the third person in the Trinity has been sidelined in mainstream Christian teaching. Many people go to church their entire lives and are not introduced to the Holy Spirit. The River by Mike Nicholson was written as a crash course on the role of the Holy Spirit in your personal life, the church community, and in the world at large. The book relies heavily on the image of the Holy Spirit as God's river of delights, a river of life that flows out of heaven, through the Christ of the cross, and out of you and me into a thirsty, needy world. It also contains stories and testimonies, which appear between chapters to inspire you and to make the teaching more personal. If you want to know the Holy Spirit on a deeper level, set aside the next 30 days, read a chapter a day, and let The River take you along.
