5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book about resting in the spirit!, June 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Overcome by the Spirit (Paperback)

This is such an amazing book about the phenomenon of being "slain" or "overcome" in the spirit. The stories in this are truly touching, and make me wonder why anyone would say that these manifestations are caused by Satan. They truly are from God. I see they have several copies of this book above, new and used -- get it! If you're not a believer that falling is caused by God's spirit, or believe that it serves no purpose (which I once did), this book will change you. It's the only book I know of (there may be others) that is solely dedicated to resting in the Spirit... so check it out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why do some people fall down when they are prayed for?, February 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Overcome by the Spirit (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for people puzzled by the phenomenon of people being "slain" in the Spirit (though MacNutt does not like that particular terminology and offers alternatives). MacNutt shares biblical insights, anecdotal experience, and practical tips gleaned from years of ministry.

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFULLY BALANCED, June 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Overcome by the Spirit (Paperback)

Francis MacNutt provides a well balanced look at, what he terms,"resting in the spirt". From a religious background that would often close someone off from such experiences Mr. MacNutt has maintained an open minded approach. Perhaps most revealing is the overwhelming evidence and testimonies of the people that have "rested". A recommended read for everyone who is curious about what they have seen...and felt.
