“One of the most important inquiries, and sadly one of the most overlooked, in the Christian spiritual tradition is exploring how the Holy Spirit can be at work in our personal lives and communities.

Stephen Bull, with authoritative contributions by his wife Sally, provides the finest introduction to Christian living in the Spirit and a way of exploring spiritual gifts that I have read in his book, Come Holy Spirit: Using Our Spiritual Gifts to Change the World. Bull masterfully blends personal narrative and stories from others, practical teaching, Biblical examples, an expansive selection of spiritual gifts, and opportunities for reflection. He presents vital lived experiences of the work of the Spirit in his life and of others and a practical framework for inviting us to look at how the Spirit might already be at work within us and how we can actively participate in this work of God in the world.”
