Giving wings to my Holy Spirit book
A group of my retired minister friends have been praying that God would give my Holy Spirit book wings. Entitled The Holy Spirit as Person and Power: Charismatic Renewal and Its Implications for Theology (Wipf & Stock, 2020), it had the misfortune to appear just before the Covid-19 pandemic shut down a lot of human interaction and publicity.
Fresh Insights about the Holy Spirit
My new book, The Holy Spirit as Person and Power: Charismatic Renewal and Its Implications for Theology, has just been published by Wipf and Stock in the United States. It’s now available on Amazon and the Book Depository, but has not yet arrived in New Zealand. I’m very excited at its publication.
Charismatic Renewal and Its Challenge to Traditional Theology
I have just uploaded to an American publisher the manuscript of my next book. Entitled The Holy Spirit as Person and Power: Charismatic Renewal and Its Implications for Theology, it offers fresh perspectives on the Holy Spirit from what has been learned in charismatic experience.
In just over one hundred years, the Pentecostal–charismatic movement has transformed world Christianity. Pentecostal and charismatic Christians are noted for their rediscovery of spiritual gifts and their commitment to world evangelisation. The fastest-growing part of the world Christian movement, Pentecostals and charismatics now number around 700 million, more than 27 percent of the global Christianity.
Book Reviews
“We found A TERRIFYING GRACE hard to put down. By candidly sharing the struggles and triumphs of highly-respected leaders, as well as the oddness of some of their partnerships, this book is a gift. A lesson in humanity as well as theology.”

“I commend RESTORING THE FORTUNES OF ZION to all those who wish for a clearer sense of Israel, its emergence from desolation to vitality and those who helped and hindered its progress. It is an exceptionally valuable resource.”
