Experiencing the Spirit: Developing a Living Relationship with the Holy Spirit Paperback – January 22, 1999

I highly recommend reading this book if you have questions about the Holy Spirit. Pastor Heidler takes an objective look at Baptism of the Holy Spirit. His almost humorous recall of his innocence in understanding this experience makes this book so easy to receive. Don't miss the introduction! It lays the whole foundation for why he wrote the book in the first place. I buy this book by the boxful and use it to add to my own testimony of being filled with the spirit. It's easy to read and understand. It's one of the best I've ever read about the Holy Spirit. Once you start reading it, plan on staying up late!!

Robert Heidler presents the truth of the Word with authority born from his personal knowledge and experience with the Holy Spirit. He has a gentle, gracious, and humble approach to teaching all levels of intimacy with God the Spirit. The entire book is brimming with real examples from the Word and Heidler's life that make the reader yearn for a deeper and more effective walk to glorify the One True Father God, Son and Holy Spirit. Reading this book, praise God!, has already produced fruit in my life! May it bless and strengthen your spiritual walk, too.

God used this book to change my life! I grew up as a pastor's kid in a Christian home and was saved at an early age. But it was after hitting rock bottom when I was 25 that I cried out to God to show me something real...that the Christianity I'd known my whole life was powerless and garbage. It was at this moment that God changed my life. I quickly was guided to the book by some friends and Pastor Robert does an incredible job explaining the Holy Spirit and His role in our lives and our role with His gifts. Incredible book. Simply incredible!

It is a long way from Theology to Application, and I've read many books that are heavy on Theology while skipping the application side, as well as several books that are great on application but provide little or no Theology behind the practice.This book marries the two concepts of Theology and Practice in a way I've rarely seen a book do, and with good reason: the author was forced to explore a Theology in light of experiential evidence. He was "filled with the spirit" and "spoke in tongues," both things he preached against, believed against, fought against, condemned as unbiblical--a true "Damascus Road" experience.With that said, this book, in attempting to balance Theology and at the same time be a layperson's book (originally written to help his congregation during their transition to a charismatic church), it tends to skip out on many of it's scripture citations on some of the more controversial stuff, like Tongues or Healings.All-in-all, it is a must read for the curious-but-cautious, the open-but-skeptic, or for the person trying to round out their understanding of the spiritual gifts--it gives enough information to drive a person to dig deeper without leaving a person feeling like they heard someone preach a comprehensive Theology that burdens the mind with too much information.On my top 5 charismatic-themed books, for sure.~Ryan

For anyone starting to learn or for those who are seeking to give more honor to Holy Spirit, Robert Heidler lays down the biblical foundation and practical advice for recognizing and living the different facets of how Holy Spirit works

This is a particularly awesome book. I am using it for my personal Bible reading and study, and now my church is using it for our Friday Bible Class! It is simple, clear, to the point, and very anointed. Dennis is a great writer, but this has to be one of his greatest books to date!

Good information especially for those who are just coming into a realization and relationship with the Holy Spirit. It is in an easy to understand, easy to read and process format for a jump start on developing a Holy Spirit relationship and moving into the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

A foundational book LOADED with scripture and clear explanations of the power of the Holy Spirit of God. The New Testament Church is clearly explained and a vital message of the ministry of the Spirit runs throughout the book.The Bible and this book will be a life long reference of foundational truths for a relationship with Jesus Christ, God and the Holy Spirit!

The author explains the concept of Holy Spirit well and how to get him in your life. Very detailed and thoroughly explained. Thank you!!!

Provides a view that isn't commonly shared. Provides some food for thought.
