Overview

The Holy Spirit is evident and active throughout the New Testament. We marvel at the events of Pentecost and his work in and through the early church. But where was the Holy Spirit in the times before?

The 90 devotional readings in this book explores more than 120 references to the spirit in the Hebrew scriptures. Discover how he created and sustained; lead people to repentance; gave spiritual gifts and commissioned; inspired speeches and writings; taught and encouraged; was graved and rejected; and how He dwelt in people – transforming, empowering and sacrificing. You might be surprised when - and sometimes, with whom - the Spirit was present from the beginning of our story.
