Why does God often feel more like a doctrine we know about than
a Person we know? Why do so many of us think of Christianity as a
lifestyle to which we conform, rather than a God with whom we
commune?
Jesus gave his disciples the audacious promise that it was to
their advantage he go back to heaven because the Holy Spirit could
then come to live inside of them. How many of us consider our
connection to the Holy Spirit so strong and so real that we would
call his presence in us better than Jesus beside us?
Author J.D. Greear asks those questions because throughout his
Christian life he felt disconnected to God and unsure about how to
interact with him. Although he had learned a lot of truths about
God, he sensed very little relationship with him at least, not the
dynamic, two-way relationship he really wanted. He tried to have
such a relationship, but all of God s work seemed stockpiled in the
past: he created the world, died on a cross, and left a Bible. God
seemed like a busy teacher who had given an assignment and then
stepped out of the room, leaving students to get the work done on
their own.
But Greear discovered it doesn t have to be like that. Not at
all. In clear and practical language, he explains how any follower
of Jesus can have a satisfying, powerful relationship with God
through the Holy Spirit.
While many books about the Holy Spirit get stuck in secondary
questions that divide believers, The God Factor focuses on a
central, truth that unites us: God wants to be vitally present in
and through his people. This truth, though central, is sadly
neglected. This generation of Christians mission-driven but burned
out, weary, and longing for joy desperately needs to recover the
dynamic presence of God. And the good news is that God wants us to
have exactly that."
