GoodBookStall Review:
The Spirit Who Speaks is an interesting, clear and considered book on the Holy Spirit and his active presence and ministry in our lives and spirit filled churches and ministries. It is written in an engaging and honest way and is in part a testimony as well as an explanation and teaching on the Holy Spirit and his work in spirit filled believers and churches. Though written by a person active in such a ministry it is still a book that poses real questions and demands that at every point we question the action and ministry to ensure that what we think is the Holy Spirit at work really is, and that more than anything is what makes this book so good and should make it essential reading for anyone interested in such things but certainly for those engaged in such ministry, Check and counter check is the reminder that Peter H. Lawrence puts forward.
In some ways though, this book becomes most compelling when you get to the point of truly realising that this was written by a man who was not healed by the Holy Spirit and there is where it is most important – the section that addresses the mistaken beliefs and theologies of some healing ministries. This book is essential because it tries so hard and does so well at flagging up the troubling and dangerous beliefs that can and do flourish and gently moving the reader on into right thinking.
