Surprised by the Power of the Spirit: Discovering How God Speaks and Heals Today by Jack Deere
4.0
I absolutely loved this book! I don't often pick up nonfiction but this was a required read for a program I was going to do. I didn't end up going through the program but I had already got this book from the library and after trying the first chapter I knew I wanted to continue with it. I'm so glad I did. I'm on the side that have grown up and believed in the voice and power of the spirit and gifts but reading this was even encouraging for me. It was fantastic to see an in-depth response and biblical reason for why I believe what I believe and that what I believe is actually valid. It also made me realize that I shouldn't believe just because I've been taught and told. That I need to do actual biblical research for myself.
At this time I've also been struggling with my relationship with Jesus and my passion for Him so that last chapter about passion and power was so incredibly uplifting. I definitely want to buy a copy of this to reread and highlight.
I would absolutely recommend this to any Christian. It's still extremely valid and encouraging for believers today.
