Publisher Description

Powerful.  When is the last time someone used that word to describe you? It doesn’t make sense that Almighty God would have children characterized by fear and insecurity. He put His Spirit in us so we could be known for our power (Acts 1:8; 2 Tim. 1:7). Sadly, most believers and churches are known for talent or intellect rather than supernatural power. What’s worse is that we’re okay with it. Could it be that we’ve forgotten the One who distinguishes us from every religion and cult in the world? Through solid scriptural support and compelling narrative, breakthrough author Francis Chan returns us to the Holy Spirit as the Bible describes Him. He reminds us that we were not created and saved merely to survive our time on earth. Chan contends that we’ve ignored the Spirit and are reaping the disastrous results. It’s time for the beloved church of Jesus Christ to reverse the trend of neglect. Let’s pursue the Spirit-filled life of effectiveness.

"I almost never give books 5-stars, but this one is well worthy of it. It is a very much needed wake up call to the body of Christ. Many need to heed Chan's advice, and even those that do (I like to believe I largely do) are well-advised to read it, both to be encouraged and to be reminded of how important turning to God in all things really is. A must read for any believer in Jesus."

— Joseph (5 out of 5 stars)

    " What great insights. He truly goes to the heart of the gospel and reminds us that Jesus Christ himself said that he wanted to send the Holy Spirit because it was better than having him here. The Son of God sent us this precious gift and we so often neglect it. Francis points this out beautifully and shows us how to get it back into our lives. "

    " A great practical devotional concerning the Holy Spirit. Chan ignores theological speculation (for that, see John Owen's The Holy Spirit or Kuyper's The Work of the Holy Spirit) and focuses instead on how we have ignored the Holy Spirit both in our individual lives and in the life of the church.

    " I stopped about halfway through after realizing that I was skimming over whole pages to see if the book was headed anywhere. I had looked forward to reading Forgotten God even though I had found Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God disappointing. If anything, Forgotten God was even weaker. "
