Short Description (2,000 characters, including spaces) Dr. Jerry
Cook spent fifty years as a pastor, teaching and writing about the
presence of the Holy Spirit and of Christ in everyday
life-including speaking in tongues. But in a conversation with a
young pastor he realized the need to explain this topic in a
practical, accessible way for those who may have only been exposed
to it through "shocking" manifestations of fanaticism. In this
conversation, the young pastor wondered what the "big deal" was,
and when Cook got over his anger at this dismissive assessment, he
tackled the concept head-on. Cook first asserts that "It is
possible to be a sane, intellectually honest, biblical, and dynamic
Christian who is filled with the Holy Spirit, speaks in tongues,
and effectually ministers the full life of Christ." He does not shy
away from his own doubts and struggles in the church and his
personal faith, striving not to create an academic, theoretical
work but to ask the right questions and provide genuine,
compassionate advice. Here, find practical, Biblical answers to the
questions of the young pastor and of other Christians who have
struggled with this concept. Examine six significant events, from
the in-breaking of God through the birth, death, resurrection, and
ascension of Jesus, ending with the day of Pentecost. Follow the
radical relocation of God from "out there" to "with us" to "in us,"
and visualize the remarkable implications of this radical move to
the Christian's everyday life. Examine the church and the
manifestation of Christ in its structure, power, and gathering. Do
not wonder what Jesus would do, but ask the radical question of who
he would be. What does a practical, post-modern Spirit-filled
Christian look like? How is Jesus made visible in everyday living,
and why is it important? Who is the church, really? In accessible
terms, Cook explains that we are not just to do what Jesus would
do, but rather to be who Jesus would be. In this way, we can bring
visibility to His presence and access to His life and hope.
