Book Description
With passion and convictions, Pastor Jim Cymbala of the Brooklyn Tabernacle reminds us that in this sin-torn, heart-broken culture, we cannot do without the Holy Spirit. And we can't afford to presume his presence. We need to seek him with the same fervor as the early believers. Discover what happens when the Holy Spirit moves in power. Jim Cymbala shares with you the witness of Scripture and the stories of men and women whose lives have been transformed. From the healing of the lame man in the book of Acts to the stirring conversion of serial killer David Berkowitz, better known as "Son of Sam," you'll see how the Spirit accomplishes what no human wisdom or power can produce. Fresh Power will expand your vision of what God can and will do and inspire you to pray like never before of the power of the Spirit in your church - and in you.


From the Back Cover
It's time for us to get hold of the Holy Spirit-or rather, to let him get hold of us. Pastor Jim Cymbala of the Brooklyn Tabernacle cuts through the theological clutter about the Holy Spirit with this fundamental truth: We need the Spirit desperately. All our cleverness can't transform a single crack addict, heal the heart of a rape victim, or draw a jaded businessman to Christ. Only God's Spirit can do that. Drawing examples from the Bible and from the sidewalks of New York City, Fresh Power shows what happens when the Spirit of God moves in your midst. "God is using the Brooklyn Tabernacle to teaches us how to pray and to not give up. If you need energy this book is for you. Without a doubt, it is for me." Max Lucado "My prayer is that this book makes the church examine itself. They changed the program for prayer, activity for life and numbers for fruits? Repent your sin and ask God to give you fresh power." Anne Graham Lotz
