About This Book

The author contends that authentic Christian effectiveness depends on receiving and relying on the Holy Spirit rather than on ritual or mere zeal. He outlines the Spirit’s identity and personality, describes spiritual quickening and indwelling as the source of life and power, and distinguishes power residing within believers from power poured upon them for service. Practical chapters address witnessing energized by the Spirit, the Spirit’s operation in Christian work, and common hindrances to spiritual effectiveness. The central claim is that sustained prayerful dependence on the Spirit is the secret to fruitful Christian life and work.

About the Author

Dwight Lyman Moody

Dwight Lyman Moody (1837-1899) was a prominent American evangelist and publisher known for his influential role in the revivalist movement of the late 19th century. He founded the Moody Church in Chicago and established the Moody Bible Institute, which continues to educate and train Christian leaders today. Moody's works often focus on practical Christian living and biblical teachings, with notable titles such as "Bible Characters" and "Men of the Bible." His engaging anecdotes and illustrations, as seen in "Moody's Anecdotes and Illustrations," have made his sermons accessible and impactful, contributing significantly to evangelical literature.
