Forgotten God - by Francis Chan (Paperback)

About the Book

Chan contends that Christians have ignored the Holy Spirit for far too long, and it's causing disastrous results. Thorough scriptural support and compelling narrative form Chan's invitation to stop and remember the Spirit of the living God.

Book Synopsis

New York Times-bestselling author Francis Chan offers a compelling invitation to understand, embrace, and follow the Holy Spirit's direction in our lives.

What if the thing our churches are missing isn't a something, but a Someone? Francis Chan's Forgotten God seeks to reverse our neglect of the Holy Spirit by exposing the enormous gap between what Scripture says about the Spirit and how most believers and churches operate today.

Through solid scriptural support and compelling narrative, Chan reveals the Holy Spirit as the Bible describes Him. His goal isn't merely to educate readers--it's to infuse reader's lives with the presence of the Holy Spirit in profound ways.

From the Back Cover

Powerful.

When is the last time someone used that word to describe you?

It doesn't make sense that Almighty God would have children characterized by fear and insecurity. He put His Spirit in us so we could be known for our power (Acts 1:8; 2 Tim. 1:7). Sadly, most believers and churches are known for talent or intellect rather than supernatural power. What's worse is that we're okay with it.

Could it be that we've forgotten the One who distinguishes us from every religion and cult in the world?

Through solid scriptural support and compelling narrative, breakthrough author Francis Chan returns us to the Holy Spirit as the Bible describes Him. He reminds us that we were not created and saved merely to survive our time on earth. Chan contends that we've ignored the Spirit and are reaping the disastrous results.

It's time for the beloved church of Jesus Christ to reverse the trend of neglect. Let's pursue the Spirit-filled life of effectiveness God desires and we desire.
