Twelve scholars from the biblical, historical, theological, and philosophical disciplines engage in a conversation on the transforming work of the Holy Spirit in the Christian life. The essays are held together by an enduring focus and concern to explore the relationship between the work of the Holy Spirit and Christian formation, discipleship, personal and social transformation. The book points toward the integration of theory and practice, theology and spirituality, and the mutual interest in fostering dialogue across disciplines and ecclesial traditions.

This book by Pastor Charles Morris is a tool for discovering the work and ministry of the person of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. This teaching is vital to understanding the four positions of the Holy Spirit as He moves and works in the lives of individuals. The Holy Spirit, a divine personality, comes along BESIDE US, convicting us and wooing us to the heart of the Father. Once we are born again, the Holy Spirit moves WITHIN US, revealing the character of the Father to us and through us. When we are baptized with the Holy Spirit, He comes UPON US, imbuing us with power to be a bold witness in these last days. As we surrender daily to the leadership of the person of the Holy Spirit, He FILLS US with His presence and leads us in His will and ways. In addition to the studying the work and ministry of the person of the Holy Spirit, this book also gives the biblical proof or evidences of each position of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer.

The Christian life is mysterious, and to know and live the Christian life is not an easy thing. In this book Witness Lee presents a deeper understanding of the Christian life. He begins by defining the Christian life as both "the life in which the believers of Christ live Christ and magnify Christ" and also "the life in which the Christians live Christ and magnify Him corporately in their locality as a local church to be a local expression of Christ as a part of the universal Body of Christ." In the following chapters Lee presents the contents of the Christian life and helps the reader to experience the all-inclusive Spirit in order to live the proper Christian life.

The book explains the role of the Holy Spirit in our interior and missionary life, centered on the gifts, fruits and charisms of the Holy Spirit bestowed in Confirmation.

This book analyses the conceptual mechanisms behind the notion of “The Christian Life” in the collection of sermons preached by John Henry Newman (1801–1890) and published in eight volumes as Parochial and Plain Sermons (1834–1843). The study utilises tools of cognitive semantics, such as the theory of conceptual metaphor and metonymy and the theory of conceptual integration. Cognitivism offers an integral perspective on language and is gaining in popularity among scholars in the whole world. The book identifies a number of metaphorical models of “The Christian Life” in Newman’s sermons, based on structural metaphors, such as “A Journey”, “A Race”, “A Trial” and “Family Life”, as well as some models based on ontological metaphors, such as animalisations (“The Sheepfold” metaphor), vegetalisations (the “Christ is a Plant” metaphor) and reifications (“The Gift” metaphor). Each of the models constitutes a coherent set of metaphors, metonymies and metaphtonymies, present throughout the whole of Newman’s Parochial and Plain Sermons. It is also shown that the conceptualisation of “The Christian Life” is based on conceptual blending between conventional metaphors functioning in everyday English and the transcendental conceptual domain of “Christianity”. The book will be of interest to linguists, particularly those interested in cognitive linguistics, as well as to theologians, especially those focused on the theory of preaching, and to everyone interested in the legacy of John Henry Newman.

In this book, Donald McKim examines Reformed beliefs on sixteen theological topics, including Scripture, the Trinity, sin, salvation, the person of Jesus, and Baptism. He also discusses distinctive emphases of the Reformed faith and shows how Reformed beliefs relate to the broader ecumenical family of Christian teachings.

This book is an attempt to focus on what constitutes a true Christian and one who is a true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. The life of a true believer revolves around the teachings of Jesus and accordingly, he walks in the footsteps of the Lord. Negative vibes are far from him and he focuses on seeing everyone attain nirvana or more succinctly eternal life. The present world in which he lives is only a temporary abode and the goal is heavenly life which is eternal. The attitude of the mind thus does not veer around earthly pleasures but doing the will of God. Such a person is humble, meek, and forgiving. He has the fruits of the Spirit i.e., Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, and temperance. The positive Christian living therefore calls for a complete metamorphosis of our lives and being spiritually born again.
