"The God You Need To Know" 12 Practices to awaken your relationship with the Holy Spirit Review

 

About the book/video study:

Learn practical ways to engage the Holy Spirit in your life as you encounter God's Spirit throughout the Old Testament.

This 6-session video Bible study guide (streaming access included) will change the way you interact with the Holy Spirit. Many of us jump to Acts 2 and Pentecost to understand the Spirit of God. But if you look closely, you'll find hints and delightful surprises throughout the entirety of Scripture as Holy Spirit works powerfully in unexpected places.

The God You Need to Know Bible Study Guide will deepen your relationship with the Holy Spirit as beloved Bible teacher Margaret Feinberg uncovers the Spirit's work throughout the Old Testament—in the lives of David, Gideon, Ezekiel, and others. With their stories as a guide, Margaret provides 12 practices to help you engage with the Spirit and experience a more vibrant faith life.

This study guide has everything you need for a rich Bible study experience, including:

• The study guide itself—with discussion and personal reflection questions, video notes, and Scripture exercises.
• An individual access code to stream all six video sessions online (you don't need a DVD).

 In The God You Need to Know, you'll discover:

• Tools to identify how the Spirit is working in your life
• Practical ways to engage the Spirit through Scripture study, prayer, and journaling
• Obvious markers of the Spirit moving powerfully in unexpected places
• Five powerful questions for guided discernment
• 12 practices to help you live in constant communion with God

My Review

I was excited to review this book/ video study when I read "this six session video Bible study invites you to encounter the Spirit throughout the Old testament."   I know that many people have a broad understanding of Holy Spirit from the book of Acts and Pentecost Sunday but Holy Spirit is part of the Holy Trinity and has been present from the beginning of time.   

I think for any new believer this is a must do study to help gain understanding and start that important relationship with Holy Spirit.   I think for a seasoned believer the study helps you stop and reflect and hunger and thirst to go deeper in love with Holy Spirit.  

This book/video series is really geared for a group study.   The book has group discussion questions as well as personal study parts.   If you want to take time to really dig in and do this study you need to set aside time each an every day to do the book parts, be activated in a group discussion, and watch the videos.   You don't want to just do a little bit but rather be excited to do each part of the study.   

One feature I wasn't expecting was a fun coloring page between chapters of the book.  I haven't done that part but since I am home from work recovering from surgery I think I will have some time to color and enjoy it!
