2.0 out of 5 stars A Writer's Eclectic Notes, December 15, 2009

This review is from: 1,001 Things You Always Wanted to Know About the Holy Spirit (Paperback)

This isn't really a book. It's more like a collection of writer's notes thrown together with a title slapped on the front of it. E.g., 792. Madison on sects -- not a word about the Holy Spirit, but a closing comment about how religious liberty facilitates renewal movements. 83. Dress-down Sundays. Nothing about the Holy Spirit. Many posts mention Pentecostal churches, or pentecostalism, but nothing specific about the Holy Spirit per se. If you like a flea market, enjoy rummaging around to see what you can find, you may enjoy this book. But, if you are looking for something cohesive, this is not the book for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great reference book, July 5, 2003

This review is from: 1,001 Things You Always Wanted to Know About the Holy Spirit (Paperback)

The book has great information of large numbers of people in mostly Charismatic movement, who is who, what they do and some other information. A great book for referencing, although most of the information of the people are very short.
It is written in easy to understand plain English, good to have this book in your shelve.
