**And the Holy Spirit***

Titling for this book stems from the desire to make the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit more widely known and appreciated. Having been involved in several different denominations as well as some independent churches, I have seen the Holy Spirit virtually ignored. After having received the Holy Spirit's baptism, I came to realize how critical the Holy Spirit is in the life of the believer as well as in the life of a church. The power available to believers and churches through the Holy Spirit is wonderful to witness and minister. We hear, "In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit," intoned over and over again while the third person of the Trinity is ignored in prayer, praise, and worship. This all is why the title of this book is And the Holy Spirit. He is not to be passed by.
