Discussion Questions
① What is your initial reaction to the book as you read it?
② How much do you feel you know about the Holy Spirit and
its work in our lives from the Scripture?
③ What Scriptures about the Holy Spirit do you know? List
them (book, chapter, verse) WITHOUT looking at a
concordance or references.
④ What about your life can you point to that you can say that
it is only because the Holy Spirit is working in your life?
