You Believe in God. You Follow Jesus. But Does the Holy Spirit Still Feel Like a Mystery?

If you've ever wondered why everyone else seems to have powerful Holy Spirit stories . . . but you just feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure--you're not alone.

The God You Need to Know reveals that God is neither distant nor confusing, inviting you instead to experience the real, everyday presence of the Holy Spirit who guides, empowers, and walks with you daily.

Bestselling author Margaret Feinberg gently walks you through Scripture--from Genesis to Pentecost--to reveal the Spirit's constant, powerful presence across history . . . and in your everyday life. This isn't complicated theology--it's a fresh, honest way to reconnect with the Spirit many believers quietly wonder about but rarely talk about.

Inside you'll discover:

• How to recognize those quiet nudges or spiritual promptings without second-guessing yourself
• The hidden thread of the Spirit's work woven all through the Old Testament (yes, long before Pentecost)
• Simple, tangible practices to help you invite the Spirit into your everyday moments (without the pressure or weirdness)
• What it looks like to move from believing in God . . . to experiencing his living presence for yourself

 

You don't have to feel left out of the Spirit-led life anymore. You don't have to wonder if you're "missing it" or waiting for some dramatic moment. The Holy Spirit has been pursuing you all along--and it's time to experience the vibrant, Spirit-connected faith you've always longed for.

The God You Need to Know is for you if:

• You love Jesus, but your faith feels dry or disconnected lately
• You're curious (but cautious) about the Holy Spirit and want a grounded, approachable way to explore
• You want practical tools, not just more head knowledge
• You've ever thought, "Why does this feel so real for others . . . but distant for me?"

 

You were never meant to follow God alone. The Spirit is already closer than you think.
