Forgotten God

Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit

By: Francis Chan

Narrated by: Francis Chan, Lisa Chan

New York Times-bestselling author 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.

The explanation of what we miss when we don’t embrace the Holy Spirit fully.

I would have like Frances to have read the book . His wife does a beautiful job but when he spoke of personal experiences I would have preferred his voice

Disappointing

I expected this book to teach me more about the Holy Spirit. But the book has no substance. It criticized modern churches and Christians. It praised various people the author respects and has personal stories about the author’s life. It references some scripture but I would not say it has an analysis of the Holy Spirit.
