For a generation searching desperately for authentic spiritual experiences, there's good news: the Holy Spirit's indwelling presence is freely available.

In The Familiar Stranger, Staton reintroduces this oft-neglected person of the Trinity, tracing the story of the Holy Spirit as it unfolds throughout the Bible, and inviting believers to close the gap between what Scripture reveals about the Holy Spirit and their lived experience. Along the way, readers will:

- dig into key biblical images and metaphors that reveal the Holy Spirit's nature, roles, and personality;

- learn about common misperceptions that keep believers and churches from experiencing the fullness of the Holy Spirit's power and presence;

- discover how the Spirit brings discernment and access to miraculous power to partner with God in the work he's doing in the world;

- reckon with the indispensable role of spiritual experience for walking with God; andunderstand how both Word and Spirit work together to draw people into a vibrant, intimate knowledge of God.

The Familiar Stranger will challenge, inform and encourage believers from every background to become more deeply acquainted with the Person and work of the Holy Spirit - and experience his transformative, life-giving power in their lives.
