From internationally recognized Bible teacher and daughter of Billy
Graham, this focused Bible course and workshop is designed to guide
you into a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit through reading
God's Word. In the Jesus In Me video-based Bible study (video
streaming included) Anne Graham Lotz provides a format for studying
the Bible that will help you learn to listen for God's voice, know
Him in an intimate relationship, and communicate with Him through
His Word. Throughout the eight sessions, you and your group will
discover why the Holy Spirit is an essential part of the Christian
life and how he speaks directly to you through the pages of your
Bible. Anne begins with a workshop and video instruction on an
effective, 5-step approach to studying your Bible. After that,
you'll apply the skills of asking and listening as you work through
five Bible studies per week on selected Scriptures about the Holy
Spirit. This video study guide has everything you need for both
small group and individual use and includes: The study guide
itself-with the workshop instruction, discussion and reflection
questions, video notes, and a facilitator's guide. An individual

This is a facsimile of the small 1540 book of Myles Coverdale as it was
reprinted in modern spelling in 1844. Coverdale was a close associate
of William Tyndale, and co-translator of the 1537 Matthew Bible with
Tyndale. His English is remarkably modern compared to other writers of
his period and readers will be pleased by how easy he is to understand.
Coverdale proceeds chronologically, expounding the sequence of events
as set forth in the four Gospels from the Passion of Christ through to
Pentecost, in short sections that are perfect for daily devotional
reading. They would also serve well for a series of sermons. The first
part of each section is a Scripture reading comprised of a passage or
combination of passages from the Gospels. The second part expounds the
Scriptures.
The "lessons" in Coverdale's book contain the pure preaching of Christ
- "gathered," as Coverdale wrote, "out of the four Evangelists, with a
plain exposition of the same." Poetic, profound, and anchored to the
Word of God as it was most purely revealed in the early Reformation,
Coverdale's Fruitful Lessons reach up to heaven itself.
This facsimile book is complete, without any missing pages, and each
page has received special attention so that there are no imperfections
to detract from the reading experience.
World Guild Award Winner As the renowned scholar Thomas Oden noted,
"No subject of Christian teaching is more prone to fanaticism and
novelty and subjectivism than that of the Holy Spirit." The Bible's
own metaphors for the Spirit are as elusive as they are
evocative-wind, oil, flame, water, dove-making pneumatology a
mysterious study. But shying away from the topic is no solution.
Gordon Smith encourages us to seek both fresh understanding and
fresh experience of the Spirit through openness to learning more,
no matter what our theological tradition. In this way, as we hold
biblical convictions firmly but gracefully, the guiding principles
of discernment and humility will help us intentionally live
Spirit-responsive lives day by day. Welcome, Holy Spirit is a
much-needed master class with a trustworthy and encouraging
teacher. How can we cultivate an understanding of the Holy Spirit
that helps us experience the presence of the Spirit in worship, in
witness, in joy and sorrow, in seasons of blessing and times of
difficulty alike, all the while honoring the fullness of the
Trinity? An attentiveness to the Spirit need not replace Christ as
the focus of our lives and worship but can rather bring us truly
into the presence of the living and ascended Lord. It is to this
end that we pray, "Welcome, Holy Spirit."
