Forgotten God

It is true that the Holy Spirit is often the forgotten God, or potentially the misunderstood God, and this book does a fantastic job of changing that for the reader. \\r\\n\\r\\nI have always found Francis Chan to be very black and white in his thoughts and writing, and I found the benefit of this to be paramount in this book. For a topic where there seems to often be a lot of grey, Chan's solid doctrine and practical gospel-centered application make this book a must-read for any Christian who questions 'Who is the Holy Spirit?' and 'What role does He play in my life?' or simply wants to grow in their knowledge and relationship with God. \\r\\n\\r\\nI thoroughly recommend this book.

Francis Chan is a man who lives what he preaches. He has stepped back and looked at his life in the Western church and how that lines up with the Bible. Forgotten God gives the reader an insight into the doctrine of the Holy Spirit according to Scripture. It challenges those of us in Western Churches who try and """"fabricate"""" or change who the Holy Spirit is. You will be challenged, inspired, and encouraged by this book.

I like Francis Chan's books in the way that he challenges people to move out of their comfort zone. We need these kind of books as we tend to be complacent in our Christian lives sometimes. \\r\\n\\r\\nThis book is a good introduction on The Doctrine of Holy Spirit. Our church uses this book for teaching this doctrine. \\r\\n\\r\\nNot only is this book good for The Doctrine of Holy Spirit 101, but also good for our spiritual growth, because as the title says, we have been neglecting the Holy Spirit. Chan invites us to reflect on why we need the Holy Spirit, and he also draws examples from the book of Acts how the church should look like when we are filled by the Holy Spirit. I love how he writes that if you were in a desert island with only the Bible, then you go to today's church, you'll be shocked that how we have drifted so much from the first Congregation in the book of Acts. \\r\\n\\r\\nOverall, this is a great book, and I highly recommend it.
