About this ebook

On the day of Pentecost, there was the sound as of a great wind, and what appeared to be tongues of fire appeared...

Particularly since the start of the twentieth century, the Christian world has been in turmoil over the experiences that the Holy Spirit has given to many Christians. But few understand who it is who is producing such a tremendous effect; after all, unlike Jesus, we cannot see the Spirit! Here the Bible does give a lot of help by describing the Spirit in ways that we understand, such as wind, fire or a dove. These illustrations are explained, and suggestions are made for a number of others, both from the ancient and modern worlds.

To better understand what the Spirit does, we need to better understand who he is; this book does just that.

David T Williams

Originally from the UK, where he graduated as an engineer from Cambridge university, David's life was changed when he became a Christian. He then trained as a teacher and went as a missionary to Southern Africa. There he has ministered in schools, hospitals, prisons and churches, often using visual aids as a powerful tool for communicating the Gospel. Since 1983 he has taught systematic theology at the University of Fort Hare, one of Africa's oldest universities, and well-known as the alma mater of Nelson Mandela. He is now a professor there, and not only teaches theology at undergraduate and graduate levels, but has published extensively, both articles and books (see http://www.davidtwilliams.com/). He is married with four grown-up children.
