Review of “Jesus in Me” by Anne Graham Lotz

Description

“The internationally recognized Bible teacher and daughter of Billy Graham combines unique biblical insights and her own personal stories to show how the Holy Spirit guides us in our decisions, comforts us in pain, and stays by our side at all times, enriching our daily lives. 

In Jesus in Me, Anne Graham Lotz draws on her rich biblical knowledge as well as her personal journey—including her recent cancer diagnosis—to help us understand that the Holy Spirit is not a magic genie, a flame of fire, or a vague feeling. He is a Person who prays for us, guides us in our relationships and decisions, comforts us in pain, and stays by our side at all times. In this seminal teaching, she explores seven key aspects of the Holy Spirit that will revolutionize how you understand and relate to this vital third Person in the Trinity.

As Anne writes, “One of my deepest, richest joys has been discovering by experience who the Holy Spirit is in every step of my life’s journey. Each name that He has been given—Helper, Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor, Counselor, Strengthener, and Standby—reveals another aspect of His beautiful character and has provoked in me a deep love for the One who is my constant Companion . . . Jesus in me.”

Discover how to better love and rely on the person of the Holy Spirit—and embrace how much He loves you through His presence, power, and provision in our daily lives.”

My Review:

Anne Graham Lotz writes in such a personable manner that reading this book seems as if you are sitting in a small group while she shares stories about her life and also explains about the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of a Christian.  I love how she presents the Bible passages about the Holy Spirit in an understandable way.  There’s much to absorb as you read through the twenty seven chapters in this book.  Every  chapter is both challenging and encouraging, but my favorite section was on “Loving the Person of the Holy Spirit” and the names that indicate His role in our lives.  This would be a good book for a book study group or Sunday School class.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
