My Sunday school class uses Chuck's books for study. This is typical Chuck fare -- great.

In Acts 19, the Apostle Paul had a discourse about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with some Ephesian Christians he met during his missionary voyage.
"You mean you guys are running on empty fuel" was kind-of his reaction to their response to his question. Apparently they had said,"No, we never even heard that there's something called the Holy Ghost!"
It is possible to intellectualize,choreograph,trivialize, or even Over-Spiritualize our Christian walk and still nurse the notion that we're missing out on something crucial needed as believers. After all, the earnest expectation of all men has been to witness the day of the manifestation of God's Children. Such a feat that isn't possible without the Fatherly embrace of from the Holy Spirit.
As the best-selling and renowned minister and author Charles .R. Swindoll beautifully crafts a love-story most Christians are missing out on. It is about the invaluable benefits of knowing this Third person of the Divine Trinity on a whole new level, regardless of whether they feel the whiff of His presence or struggle to perceive his voice!
Swindoll challenges the reader in Embraced By The Spirit, to take that spiritual inventory of our lives, and to revisit the far reaching effects of this embrace in our daily spirit-filled walk. Such changes that not only affect our lives, but absolutely transforms throughout our homes.

Charles Swindoll is one of my favorite authors. I really love the way that he puts things. He brings out God's Word in a way that we can understand, but doesn't talk down to the reader, not does he speak in terms above of us. He helps us to attain that closer walk with the Lord that I desire.
