Tony Evans' in-depth explanations of the Holy Spirit's relationship with christians was enlightining and gave excellent examples to show how much God really loves us and helps us in life with his comforter, the Holy Spirit. This is a must own for any christians who are experiencing trouble understanding the third person of the Trinity, and how he reacts to us.

This book really helped me focus on what I needed to enhance my relationship with the Lord. I learned how to seek the Holy Ghost and how His presence could change my life. It taught me about God's promises to me and what I needed to do to be in-line with them. A must for Christians seeking direction and even for those desiring a spiritual walk but don't know where to start.

I thought the book was wonderful. Tony Evans is a very studied and easy to understand author. I will recommend this book to all of my family and friends.

Glad to find this book through Amazon for a great price New.

One of the difficult topics for the church to exegete and exposit upon is who is the Holy Spirit and what He does relative to and in the life of believers. In Tony Evan's testimony and exhortation, believers who truly desire to grow in relationship with God will find much food to contemplate in their Bible Study on the Holy Spirit. Can there be a church without the working of the Holy Spirit? Can a church grow without the working of the Holy Spirit? Can we even as individuals be effective followers of Christ without the Holy Spirit? Not only does Dr. Evans answer those questions but also, using the Bible as the foundation, explains why, how. For whatever reasons, many church-goers are unaware of these foundational teachings, and as a result, they and their churches face significant issues and may potentially damage their witness for Christ. I highly recommend that anyone who dares to call him or herself a Christian to quickly get into their possession a Bible that they can read and understand, and Dr. Evan's book. Perhaps suggest to your minister or worship team that this be a part of your church's Bible study discussions.

The Promise should be required reading for all Christians. It covers the Ministry of the Holy Spirit completely and accurately. This is a subject many pastors do not understand let alone teach. Tony Evans book covers the subject completely and in language that a child could understand.
I recommend this book to anyone regardless of denomination. To the non Christian it will be interesting reading however the finer points will not be evident. The Promise outlines the personal relationship one must have with Jesus Christ in order to receive the gift of salvation.
Religion will not in its self suffice as this is mans attempt to attain salvation through merit. Salvation is bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ and it cannot be atained through works. This book covers the subject very well.

Thank you for your prompt response and the good condition of my book. I recieved it as good condition and without the binding broken into.

This is a very worthwhile book on the Holy Spirit. Each chapter is about a different aspect of the Spirit, and at the end of each chapter there are questions and challenges for you to apply it to your life. You will learn solid doctrine without even knowing it by reading this book! The author uses very down to earth and easy to understand illustrations to make points. Tony Evans is not charismatic, but at the same time he is diplomatic. This book is both theological (although indirectly so) and practical.

This was a great book. We used this book in our Summer Vacation Bible School this year. I think the book gives you just enough information to make you think and want to dig further in your Bible. We did not finish the book in VCBS however I plan on completing the book on my own.
