Publisher's summary

What will God do when you open your life to the Holy Spirit?

Christianity is impossible without the Holy Spirit. So why do we talk so little about him? In Spirit Rising, Pastor Jim Cymbala combines biblical insights with stunning stories of the Holy Spirit's work to help you experience God's power in a new way.

Nothing will change your prayer life, your church, or your study of God's Word more than opening your heart to the Spirit. So if you want more excitement and joy, come discover a deeper understanding of how the Holy Spirit moves - and how you can join him.

Read this book!

I have never heard of Jim Cybala and read this on a whim. And I am floored by how powerful and special this book is. It is so tender and true and spirit directed. I promise you that it will build you as a follower of Christ Jesus.

I'm on to the next one by Jim!

Very Encouraging.

Wow!!!! The power and intelligence of the Spirit of God is so mighty!!! He is all knowing and powerful, he is gentle and knows exactly how to direct our lives if we let him.

Rev, the testimony of the Cambodian sister reminded me that God can do with us whatsoever he wants and that we are not our known. This book also reminded me that when we are going through bad things in our lives it is He that protects us from the destroyer.

Thanks again Pastor Jim, for being obedient and for taking the time to compile these testimonies they've encouraged my growth in the Lord.

Powerful testimony of connections between prayer and the Holy Spirit

This is a powerful testimony of the connection of how prayer can cut through the darkness and how the Holy Spirit responds. I especially enjoyed listening to this because the author, Jim Cymbala, was the narrator. I felt his compassion and his relationship with prayer and the Holy Spirit. This book will encourage anyone who intercedes for another.

Wonderful book on Holy Spirit

This is a book that defies the polemic categories that so many in the Christian world try to set up. It uses Scripture as well as contemporary examples of the Holy Spirit at work in the people of God in ways that will encourage, instruct, and challenge you. This is a new addition on my list of books I recommend in discipleship. Give it a read.

An eye opener for me

When you are in your walk with Christ and you are entering into the Spirit realm, you need help navigating.
Hearing these testimonies of the life changing power of the Holy Spirit encourages you and strengthens your resolve to keep the faith.
The most memorable part of this book is the confirmation that God protects His own.
To hear the same words in which the Holy Spirit spoke to me about the church and the role of its leaders was powerful.
Thank you for sharing. You are proof that God is indeed a miracle working God. May the good Lord continue to bless you and your ministry. Love MJ

What an Anointing!!!

Would you listen to Spirit Rising again? Why?

I will listen to this audiobook again and again and again, I learned so much abut the Holy Spirit, Pastor Cymbala has a vast knowledge of the Holy Spirit and the arrangement of the chapters were right on time.

I brought this listen to understand more and I got more then i expected.

What other book might you compare Spirit Rising to and why?

Honestly this is a one of a kind. I brought books on the Holy Spirit before this one and I returned one and the others were just ok.

What about Jim Cymbala’s performance did you like?

Absolutely, his knowledge, and his storytelling skills simply was enjoyable..

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but I didn't have that kind of time, but I did it in 2 sittings.

Any additional comments?

If you are looking to learn about the Holy Spirit, His illustrations, His power and glory this is the listen.
