Book Review: Jesus Continued: Why the Spirit Inside You is
Better Than Jesus Beside You
by: J.D.Greear
This book has been a good and interesting read. I have read
several on this subject ranging on each pole of the subject, from conservative
to out there. I found this book to be a good well rounded consideration of the Holy
Spirit. I have to admit up front that I was
a little disturbed at the title until I considered what Jesus said. Then, the
book became a journey for me to consider how the Holy Spirit works and
manifests in my own life. I found myself renewed, both in what I already knew
and what I was considering in the chapters of the book along with the
Scriptures. Well written Mr.Greear.
This said, I did find myself wanting more out of certain
chapters or references. Perhaps this is
where personal investigation should take place. I liked the fact that he
continually references Jesus’ own words and refers to the gospels. Perhaps the
most important statement in the book, is that it is about God’s ability to work
in us, not our own abilities, power or potential. I think I better understand
now Paul’s sentiments that he learned to rejoice in his weakness. I recommend this book to you heartily. I don’t
believe you will be disappointed.
