The Baptism and Gifts of the Spirit

This exposition of Scripture dares you to be restless for a deeper encounter with God's Spirit.
When he wrote Joy Unspeakable and The Sovereign Spirit, two books declaring the Bible's teaching on the Holy Spirit, D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones agreed with his conservative church colleagues that a Christian is filled by the Spirit's indwelling presence at the moment of conversion.
He stirred debate, however, with his conviction that the Christian is called to seek a more profound experience with the Holy Spirit through spiritual maturity and faithfulness. The Bible speaks of this spiritual empowerment as an event in the Christian's life at conversion, or later.
And these books became his most controversial when he defended the view that charismatic gifts continue in the church. Joy Unspeakable and The Sovereign Spirit have been combined in this volume. The Baptism and Gifts of the Spirit is a warmly vibrant study of all that the Bible says on the Spirit and spiritual gifts. It is, further, a passionate call to draw close to God.
The book describes promises to the church and individual. In its fresh exposition, the book builds the framework for a bridge across the divisions that separate charismatics, Pentecostals, and other evangelicals.
