Synopsis
What caused a professor in a conservative evangelical theological college to change his mind about the Holy Spirit so radically that he had to leave? This book explains why one theologian came to believe in signs and wonders for today. But more than that, it is a profound biblical apologetic, arguing carefully and courteously for the view that the Holy Spirit's supernatural gifts did not cease in New Testament times. Dr Deere serves Christians on both sides of the debate, as he marks out pitfalls which threaten to hinder the present day supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit. 'Dr Deere's thesis is, in my opinion, irrefutable.' R. T. KENDALL, Minister Westminster Chapel, London 'Narrative theology at its best.' GORDON D. FEE, Professor of New Testament, Regent College

From the Back Cover
What caused a former Dallas Seminary professor to believe that the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit are being given today? What convinced someone skeptical about miracles that God still speaks and heals? A dramatic change took place in Jack Deere's life when he took a fresh look at the Scriptures. He discovered that his arguments against miraculous gifts were based more on prejudice and lack of personal experience than on the Bible. As soon as Deere became a seeker instead of a skeptic, the Holy Spirit revealed himself in new and surprising ways. In Surprised by the Power of the Spirit, Deere provides a strong biblical defense for the Spirit's speaking and healing ministries today. He also describes several reliable cases of people who were miraculously healed or who heard God speak in an unmistakable way. Finally, he gives sound advice for using spiritual gifts in the church. Written in a popular style, with the care of a scholar but the passion of personal experience, this book explores: the real reason Christians do not believe in miraculous gifts, responding to charismatic abuses, whether miracles were meant to be temporary, and why God still heals.
