Forgotten God

Remembering Our Crucial Need for the Holy Spirit

De: Francis Chan

Narrado por: Francis Chan

A follow up to the profound message of Crazy Love, Pastor Francis Chan offers a compelling invitation to understand, embrace, and follow the Holy Spirit's direction in our lives.

"In the name of the Father, the Son, and ... the Holy Spirit." We pray in the name of all three, but how often do we live with an awareness of only the first two? As Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised to send the Holy Spirit - the Helper - so that we could be true and living witnesses for Christ.

Unfortunately, today's church has admired the gift but neglected to open it. Breakthrough author Francis Chan rips away paper and bows to get at the true source of the church's power - the Holy Spirit. Chan contends that we've ignored the Spirit for far too long, and we are reaping the disastrous results.

Thorough scriptural support and compelling narrative form Chan's invitation to stop and remember the One we've forgotten, the Spirit of the living God.

Great for an open mind with a lense of scripture

Where does Forgotten God rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I loved it. He seems very sincere and humble.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The Holy Spirit.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I loved it. I had an extreme reaction by learning more and more about the Holy Spirit from a biblical perspective that was also practical.

Perfect Timing in My Life

My pastor is currently teaching a sermon series on the book of Acts, and Francis Chan’s book, Forgotten God: Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit, could not have been read/heard at a more amazing time, not just because it speaks greatly of the book of Acts, but because of my need for the Holy Spirit. The audiobook says “Remembering Our Crucial Need” while the paperback book I own says “Reversing Our Tragic Neglect,” and, while there is a crucial need for the Holy Spirit, the book certainly tells of the tendency for me to neglect what I need.

Francis Chan also read the book, so his audio is filled with enthusiasm and hope that the reader/listener will come to a loving relationship with the Holy Spirit, a gift from God, and that I will submit and obey what the Lord commands through His Counselor.

Wow!!! Wish I knew earlier.

Would you listen to Forgotten God again? Why?

Sure would. Can't get it all in one listening got to listen to it again.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The Holy Spirit of course.

Life Changing

Francis did an amazing job with this book! It has changed my life and given me a lot of perspective and things to think on. He asks very honest, hard to answer questions about your willingness to follow and be obedient to the Spirit and about keeping alive the true flame that lives within us.

So Personally Challenging

I am always challenged by the scriptural position he makes. The application is so challenging in practice.
