5.0 out of 5 stars – Evangelical dryness versus Charismatic over-excitement.
This book, is without doubt, David Pawson’s best examination and solution for Word and Spirit to meld together, as the Lord intended it to do. The tendency in the church is for an unspiritual emphasis of one factor over another, which emasculates and separates either the Word or the function and ministry of the Holy Spirit. Just examine the state of a number of Christian churches where Evangelicals regard modern Charismatics with a great deal of suspicion, and vice versa. Personally, I have spent many years with a foot in both camps and concur with much of David’s assessments about this condition. We all have spiritual “baggage” which needs dumping or adjusting to bring us to the state that the Lord requires of us. A great book which shows us the way out of the debilitating dilema.
