But many of us are still unsure how to understand those gifts, and there is much confusion today on what it means to be filled with the Spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis b\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'More than twenty-five years ago, the story of Jack Deere's encounter with the Holy Spirit rocked the evangelical world, as this cessationist seminary professor discovered to his great surprise that the Spirit was still speaking and healing today. Now, in the year 2020, Jack has shared his story anew with refreshing candor and wonderful biblical insight. I can't wait to see how this new 'Surprised' book rocks a new generation of readers.' * \u003cb\u003e DR. MICHAEL L. BROWN, host, The Line of Fire broadcast *\u003cbr\u003e'Since its publication in 1993, Surprised by the Power of the Spirit has been a brilliant introduction to the power and presence of the Holy Spirit at work in our world today. If you're longing for a fresh baptism in the Holy Spirit--for the first time or the thousandth time--this new edition is for you. Jack Deere is a statesman in the body of Christ, and this is a wonderful update to what is arguably his classic work.' * \u003cb\u003e PETE GREIG, author of How to Pray \u003c\/b\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e'This book is like its author--bright, accessible, full of practical wisdom, and bursting with inspiring stories of God's love and power.' * \u003cb\u003e ANDREW WILSON, teaching pastor, King’s Church London \u003c\/b\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e'This book is the perfect example of why I am still surprised by Jack Deere. With humility, winsomeness, and competence, he is able to bring biblical clarity to some of the fuzziest and most heavily debated topics in the church. A mix of easy-to-follow theology, church history, and personal experience, this book will kindly answer the skeptic, pastorally lead the student, and safely disciple the seeker.' * \u003cb\u003e DAVID BOWDEN, author of Rewire Your Heart and founder, Spoken Gospel \u003c\/b\u003e  *\u003cbr\u003e'This marvelous, game-changing work about the power of the Spirit is transformative and challenging. Jack Deere offers mature insights learned from Scripture, from enduring testing, and from a wider range of experience with spiritual gifts than most others, and we have much to learn from him. It's a great privilege to endorse this book.' * \u003cb\u003e CRAIG S. KEENER, F. M. and Ada Thompson professor of biblical studies, Asbury Theological Seminary \u003c\/b\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e'When my friend Jack Deere asked me in 1992 to read and critique the manuscript of Surprised by the Power of the Spirit, I was at first honored and later overwhelmed by its persuasive and, in my opinion, irrefutable argumentation. I remain convinced it was the most important evangelical book of the 1990s. Now, much to my delight, Jack has extensively rewritten that book, although his convictions about what the Bible says concerning the Holy Spirit remain the same. With new stories of verified healings and testimonies of the life-changing power of the prophetic, Jack has 'surprised' me once again. More than twenty-five years have passed since his book released, and a new generation of Christians stands in great need of the profound biblical and practical insights that Jack brings to bear on this subject. Get it, read it, and discover why Jack is 'still' surprised by the person and power of the Spirit.' * \u003cb\u003e SAM STORMS, pastor, Bridgeway Church, Oklahoma City \u003c\/b\u003e  *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSHOCKED and   SURPRISED Chapter 1\tThe Phone Call That Changed My Life\t Chapter 2\t Surprised by the Holy Spirit\t Chapter 3\t Signs and   Wimbers\t  SHATTERED MISCONCEPTIONS Chapter 4 \tThe Myth of Pure Biblical Objectivity\t\t Chapter 5\t The Real Reason Christians Do Not Believe in the Miraculous Gifts \t Chapter 6 \tResponding to Spiritual Abuses\t\t Chapter 7 \tScared to Death by the Holy Ghost \t Chapter 8\t Were Miracles Meant to Be Temporary? \t Chapter 9 \tWhy Does God Heal?\t Chapter 10 \tWhy God Gives Miraculous Gifts \t Chapter 11 \tWhy God Doesn’t Heal\t  SEEKING THE GIFTS and   THE GIVER Chapter 12 \tPursuing the Gifts With Diligence\t Chapter 13 \tA Passion for God\t Chapter 14\tDeveloping Passion and   Power\t\t Epilogue\tHearing God Speak Today\t  APPENDICES Appendix A\tOther Reasons Why God Heals and   Works Miracles\t Appendix B\tDid Miraculous Gifts Cease With the Apostles?\t Appendix C\tWere There Only Three Periods of Miracles?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zondervan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48864367378775,"sku":"9780310108115","price":13.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/why-i-am-still-surprised-by-the-power-of-the-spirit-9780310108115","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
