Jesus In Me by Anne Graham Lotz



Here is the book summary:
The internationally recognized Bible teacher and daughter of Billy Graham combines unique biblical insights and her own personal stories to show how the Holy Spirit guides us in our decisions, comforts us in pain, and stays by our side at all times, enriching our daily lives.
 
In Jesus in Me, Anne Graham Lotz draws on her rich biblical knowledge as well as her personal journey—including her recent cancer diagnosis—to help us understand that the Holy Spirit is not a magic genie, a flame of fire, or a vague feeling. He is a Person who prays for us, guides us in our relationships and decisions, comforts us in pain, and stays by our side at all times. In this seminal teaching, she explores seven key aspects of the Holy Spirit that will revolutionize how you understand and relate to this vital third Person in the Trinity.
 
As Anne writes, “One of my deepest, richest joys has been discovering by experience who the Holy Spirit is in every step of my life’s journey. Each name that He has been given—Helper, Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor, Counselor, Strengthener, and Standby—reveals another aspect of His beautiful character and has provoked in me a deep love for the One who is my constant Companion . . . Jesus in me.”
 
Discover how to better love and rely on the person of the Holy Spirit—and embrace how much He loves you through His presence, power, and provision in our daily lives.

And now, my review:
I found Jesus In Me by Anne Graham Lotz to be just what I was looking for.  Such an inspiration to a believer’s walk with our Constant Companion.  She talks about Him being within and without.  About how the Adversary comes to stop us but the Strengthener comes to see us through.  Sometimes I can feel like “folding up in a fetal position, whimpering in self-pity,” but she encourages me to “get a grip on the Holy Spirit” instead.  She speaks on the importance of pre-praying and she shares a personal experience of that lived out in her life.  She actually shares a lot of personal experiences in this book and it’s what makes it an amazing read.  My favorite part is how she breaks down aspects of the Spirit being our Constant Companion in quickening, guiding, igniting, shaping, and equipping us. It becomes quite a rich read.  I’ll be references, reading, and referring to this book quite a bit throughout my life as it points me to Scripture and encourages me in Him.  I highly recommend it.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
