Product Description

What are the gifts of the Spirit? What's the difference between baptism with the Spirit and the filling of the Spirit? What about speaking with tongues? In this classic, comprehensive coverage of the Holy Spirit, Torrey answers these and other questions. Because one must first know the Spirit Himself before correctly understanding His work, Torrey begins by carefully describing who the Holy Spirit is. Then, he delves into the work of the Spirit in the world and in the life of Christians. An extensive study of the baptism with the Spirit is especially timely and profitable.

Publisher's Description

In this deeply spiritual and warmly evangelical book, Dr. Torrey first carefully describes who the Holy Spirit is and how one can come to know Him as a person, just as real as Jesus Christ Himself, an ever-present, loving friend and mighty helper, who is always with us. Then he goes on to describe the work of the Spirit -- in the world and in the lives of Christians. His extensive study of the baptism with the Spirit is especially timely. Few people who read this book will come away without a new understanding of the Holy Spirit and a desire for the rich blessings one can realize through Him.

The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit 5 5 7 7

The book is very interesting & a good read. So far. November 4, 2011

I found The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit to be a diamond in the rough. I was looking for a better understanding of the Holy Spirit and found a treasure trove of information. June 23, 2011

Comprehensive but easy to understand R. A. Torrey is an excellent writer who is able to take many variables about a complex topic and put it into language and order that makes things very clear and easy to understand. This book about the Holy Spirit is a must read for any Christian who feels a deeper knowledge and understanding of Him is necessary if we are to walk in full obedience to God. He is God's voice, speaking in our hearts about what He desires for us and requires OF us to do in this world. Torrey very clearly and convincingly expresses the PERSON of the Holy Spirit and gives ample biblical backing to His personhood. He explains how very important it is to have just as intimate and direct relationship with Him as we do with our Lord, Jesus Christ. He also details the many different ways the Holy Spirit communes with us and equips us with tools to do His work. After reading this book, I understand now just how limiting it is to think that the Holy Spirit is just an impersonal "force" and that it is to be 'claimed and used" for it's power. How blasphemic that sounds now! Reading this book will give you a whole new appreciation and REVERENCE to the fullness of His place in the Trinity. March 5, 2011

I had not considered this book since about 1960. Recommended by a recent friend, I ordered and read it with the privilege of experiencing the affirmation and confirmation of the Holy Spirit as I read. As Dr. Torrey proclaims, God the Holy Spirit glorifies and magnifies both the Father and Son when our hearts are responsive to Him, the Holy Spirit. My heart, soul, mind, and body have been enriched with faith, peace, love, joy, holiness, righteousness, grace, truth...for the last two weeks, in answer to my prayer for such grace as I read this book.
