The Familiar Stranger by Tyler Staton

In The Familiar Stranger, Staton reintroduces you to this oft-neglected Person of the Trinity, tracing the story of the Holy Spirit as it unfolds throughout the Bible, and inviting you to close the gap between what Scripture reveals about the Holy Spirit and your lived experience. Along the way, you will:

• Dig into key biblical images and metaphors that reveal the Holy Spirit's nature, roles, and personality.
• Learn about common misperceptions that keep believers and churches from experiencing the fullness of the Holy Spirit's power and presence.
• Discover how the Spirit brings discernment and access to miraculous power to partner with God in the work He's doing in the world.
• Reckon with the indispensable role of spiritual experience for walking with God.
• Understand how both Word and Spirit (too often separated in some church traditions) work together to draw people into a vibrant, intimate knowledge of God.
