A very pastoral, balanced, and most importantly, scriptural study of the subject of the Holy Spirit, which steers between the extremes of the "spirit-word" concept and the excesses of the charismatic movement.
Edgar Wille wrote this about 25 years ago and it was based on a series of talks given at a Bible Class at an ecclesia in London. I have found this work to be very spiritually beneficial, and I highly recommend it.
