Rating:  Summary: awesome book Review: I know this was the best book I have ever read besides the Bible. If you really on the verge that there is something deeper with God then the answer is in the book. For God can use Books to show you also and man He did it for me. The book shows you that the Holy Spirit isn't an it but also a person in the trinity although they are one. it is like a seed, embreo, and baby, no one is lesser or greater but they make up the baby and are one but yet distinct. This book gives you a description on the Holy Spirit and who He is and that you also can have a personal relationship with Him. To be intimate with Him is to be intimate with God and to really know God. The Holy Spirit is your telephone from God to you and from you to God. It helped me out an awesome great deal and God useed the book to change my life. I couldn't put it down and that is the truth. You have got to read it folks. To sum it up the Holy Spirit gives you the power to preach to live to endure hardships and persecution. He is the powerhouse of God in you although He is God because He is a part of God. He is the Spirit of God abiding in you helping you teaching you. Well find out for yourselfs don't want to spoil it
Rating:  Summary: Sorry Benny Review: I posted a review (#21) titled Good morning almighty dollar. It was a very negative review about this book. I am here to formally retract my review and remind all readers to never judge anyone prematurely. I do NOT agree with Benny's theology but still sorry I judged him so harshly.
Rating:  Summary: A slightly more balanced view Review: I read this book about a year ago and I admit I did enjoy it. However, I did not experience all the things that I had hoped for when I bought it i.e. closer relationship with Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Father etc. Nor did I see the power start to flow in my life. I have been a Christian pretty much all my life and have parents who were involved in or saw first hand amazing miracles, deliverances from demons and other things. However, I have grown up in a different generation. The Charismatic movement and the Indonesian Revival has long since past. We need something new for a new generation. That is why I had hoped Benny Hinn's book would have aided me with what I am searching for. A closer relationship with God, and an experience first hand of the power of God. I have heard what Benny Hinn has to say about the Trinity, and the 9 Spirits of God and I know a lot of his teaching. He is someone I respect. However, most people judge, based on what a friend of a friend of theirs heard. You may call him a heretic if you want, but at least don't do it without some amount of first-hand factual knowledge of him to back up what you say. He has never said that there is no Trinity. To do so would be obvious heresy. However he has talked about the 9 Spirits of God which appear in the Book of Revelation. However, you must understand what he is trying to say. Anyway, this is a book review and not a discourse on the validity of Benny Hinn. In a nutshell, you can split the book up into two halves. The first half is like a brief biography of his life, where he was born, catholic upbringing, becoming a born again Christian and experiencing the "baptism of the Holy Spirit" (Charismatic understanding). And continues on to how he experiences the presence of the Holy Spirit in his daily life. It is his testimony, and his experience of how the Holy Spirit started relating with him. The second half of the book starts concentrating more on the Biblical theology behind what he says. i.e. mainly a more intimate fellowship of the Holy Spirit and the power of God. However, what is stressed more is the active relationship that any Christian can have with the Holy Spirit. Readers will see the Hinn points out that the Holy Spirit will always glorify Christ and never Himself, as Hinn provides examples of mistakes he has made with the Holy Spirit. One example is when he has had such a great time with the Holy Spirit, that he starts praising Him and glorifying Him. The Spirit then stops him in his tracks and corrects him on who he should be glorifying. One can tell that a few reviewers here have never actually read the book but have merely scanned it or maybe just looked at the chapter titles on the contents page while in a bookshop. And this is how the Second half carries on, providing a few eye-opening Biblical concepts on the Holy Spirit and our relationship with Him. Thoroughly grounded in the Word of God, I would highly recommend this book for those seeking to understand our relationship with the Holy Spirit to a higher degree. I would give it 5 stars for being a good book. However, the book promises that "you too can experience the same". And I would give it a 1 star for failing that promise. One must understand however, that different people may experience things differently, as others who have reviewed can testify to this fact. Do not put your hopes in a book. Ultimately, if you want everything the book says is available, you must have faith in God...and wait. To all sceptics, remain open. And to all believers, don't beleieve everything you hear, but test everything by the Word of God.
Rating:  Summary: Everyone Should Read This Book! Review: I read this book several years ago for the first time, and it changed my life in a way that is diffcult to describe. It's such a little and easy to read book, and yet it's so powerful. Benny Hinn is so annointed that even his books are able to bring the Holy Spirit over you like nothing you have ever felt or experienced. Pastor Hinn teaches you simply, how to love and recieve what you are suppose to have already, a loving relationship with the Lord and His beautiful Holy Spirit. Half way through reading this book, I was on fire for the Lord and telling everyone I saw about it. There was no denying Him any longer. I had butterflies in my stomach from the excitement that I felt 24 hours a day. Then after years of back problems, one day I turned on This Is Your Day, Benny Hinn's TV program, and I took my healing. My life hasn't been the same. It really does happen! Right now my 10 year old daughter is reading the book with me. Don't listen to critics that don't understand or know what they are talking about. Go with your own heart, and read this book for yourself. You will not regret it,and you will be very blessed.
Rating:  Summary: great book, I feel like I have found a new friend Review: I really enjoyed the book, it opened my eyes to a lot of things that I did not know. I taught me a lot about the "Trinity" and their different job duties. I feel that I have went to a higher level with God. I have even introduced the book and the Holy Spirit to my friends. My life has not been the same since the moment that I ask the Holy Spirit to come into my life. I am more aware of him, I truly did not know that he was a person but I have experienced him myself, and I know for myself. I am more aware of him, it is harder for me to do things that I should not be doing. Thank you Benny Hinn
Rating:  Summary: Good Morning Holy Spirit by Benny Hinn Review: I would recommend this book to everyone. I loved it. It had me interested from the first page. I have learned so much about the importance of the Holy Spirit in my life and in yours. The book was one that I could not put down it was so interesting and has me wanting to experience what Benny did. I also do not feel in anyway that this book takes away from God as. It tells how the Holy Spirit speaks what the father or the son wants. It explains how the Spirit teaches you or should I say guides you to live how the son and the father want. You just have to read the book it opens your heart up to so much don't take my word for it get the book. I myself bought extra copies to give them out to others I loved it that much. If I could give more then a 5 in stars I'd give a 10. Rom. 5:5 "the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us" Rom 8:13-14 "for if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God" I promise this is by far the best Christian book i have ever read. I mean it is written almost in story format so that you are interested yet it is also in fact but it just keeps you looking for more keeps you hungering for the next page. It also quotes many passages from the Bible to back it up. Please read you'll love it.
Rating:  Summary: Please read Review: I write this review as someone who has loved the ministry of benny Hinn, until recent. The writings in this book would appear to be true, but what I know about Benny Hinn makes me wonder if anything the pastor has said holds any truth. He has gone as far as to clame Christ will appear physically in bodily form at meetings. He has also claimed to speak to kathryn kuhlman in an out of body experience. He has also cursed his enemies openly as well. All of this info is documented, just look on the internet. If you want more info do a search of benny hinn on a search engine. Read with caution. Remember, Christians are to bless those that curse them, and pray for those that spightfully use them. Also jesus warned us that if someone claims that christ is here or there, beliieve them not. For many false prohets and false christ's shall show great signs and wonders to decieve the elect if possible. Matt. 24:23,24
Rating:  Summary: MARAVILHOSO!!! Review: I'll write in portuguese, because I want people in Brasil to read it too!!! O livro e maravilhoso, realmente tem os ingredientes para mudar a tua vida! Depois de um livro como esse nao da pra ler Agatha Christie novamente!! Mesmo que tu nao acredites, leia apenas como uma historia de ficcao, tenho certeza que o Espirito Santo vai tocar o teu coracao tambem!!!
Rating:  Summary: Typical Review: If you buy into the often emotional and occasional heretical teaching of Benny Hinn, I guess you probably already have this book. If you want an honest, Biblical view of the Person and Work of the Holy Spirit, I would recommend Donald MacLeod's "The Spirit of Promise." It may not be as ear tickling, but it is for those who have ears to hear.
Rating:  Summary: WOW !!!!!!! Review: If you want to meet the Holy Spirit in a way that you never thought you could, then read this book. It will change the whole way of thinking that you ever had of the Holy Spirit. You will come to realize that He is the best friend that you could have if you let Him. No back stabbing, no lying, and no let down's by anybody. He is always there when, where, and how you meet Him
