Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper to be with you forever . . .
John 14: 16 ESV
Who is this Helper? And what is the Helper's role in our lives? In The Helper, New York Times Best-Selling Author Catherine Marshall delves deeply into the study of the Holy Spirit in the life of a follower of Jesus and invites others to do the same. Catherine discovered ". . . that the coming of the Holy Spirit to us and living within us is a gift, the best gift that the Father can give us."
The Helper, written as forty short chapters, can be used as a personal devotional guide, during Lent, or any time of the year, to enable you to pursue your own quest to meet the Helper and discern the Helper's role in your own spiritual life. Each chapter reveals an aspect of this relationship between a believer in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and expands the insights with a scripture reading, a personal word, and a prayer.
A book that reveals more with each reading, The Helper uncovers the life-changing power of this daily relationship with the Holy Spirit. As Catherine Marshall demonstrates, this Helper is the one who walks alongside us, providing specific help and counsel, comforting us, leading us, equipping us, and expanding our own understanding of God and His love for us. She invites you to come along and explore together this unique, dynamic, and personal relationship with the Helper.
