Overview

"Trust depends on something-a vital and growing relationship. However, getting to know the Holy Spirit is not merely an issue of trust; it is imperative in one's deepening relationship with Jesus Christ. In this book, page after page, the author continually illustrates this principle. The emphasis is not on sensationalism or extremisms. It is on a relationship with the Person scripture names as the Holy Spirit. In autobiographical style, the writer establishes not only the biblical foundation for the doctrine of the Holy Spirit but his own growing relationship with this third Person of the Trinity. Do you resonate with this sort of pursuit? If so, then please, in the words of St. Augustine, ""Take up and read."" The results? Only heaven can tell. But without question, those around you will be encouraged, and heaven will certainly be made glad!"

"""This book will help to fill a great need in knowing more about the Holy Spirit. It does a superb job of making this important subject clear and informative. A comment in the preface is very outstanding. It reads, 'One may know accurate theological information about the Holy Spirit and yet not really know Him.' Two of the outstanding themes in this book are brokenness and intimacy with God, which represents the work of the Holy Spirit so well. What a joy it was to read this book. The space of time in which we live can be properly called The Age of the Holy Spirit; so we should be very knowledgeable of Him and His ministry. This book will be a tremendous help in doing so."" --Rev. Paul A. Travis, Field Staff of Freedom in Christ International ""I came to know Dan Robinson through his marriage to Kaye, and I love his heart for prayer and walking in the Spirit. Our stores and shelves are filled with books on methods and programs and strategies. However, Dan's book takes us back to square one: the power of the Spirit. In these pages, you'll become intimately acquainted with the Holy Spirit, His ways, and His purpose. This book is a valuable resource in plugging back into the source and recognizing that He alone is our sufficiency in life and ministry."" --Michael Catt, Senior Pastor, Sherwood Baptist Church ""It is with pleasure that I endorse The World's Most Well-Known Stranger, authored by my friend and brother, Dan Robinson. The title might well have been written by an old Puritan writer who, way back in his day, said that the Holy Spirit was the least known, least loved, and least worshiped of the Trinity. Sadly, the same condition seems to exist in our day. This not an Ivory Tower treatise on the Third Person of the Trinity, but one that comes out of years of walking with, and learning from, the one who was sent to lead us into all truth. Dan speaks to the heart of the Paraclete's mission--to point us to our Savior. 'When the Holy Spirit is given the floor, He will point to Jesus.' Always! Thank you, Dan, for this reminder."" --Ron Owens, Musician/Author, Ft. Worth, Texas ""Each generation, it seems, is in desperate need of an authentic reintroduction to the person and work of the Holy Spirit. With the current proliferation of voices speaking to this issue, Dan Robinson's The World's Most Well-Known Stranger arrives at a crucial time. Robinson takes us straight to the Word of God where the Spirit introduces Himself, clearly, cogently, and with convicting power. With its conversational tone, careful exegesis, and easy-to-follow unfolding of truth, Robinson's book will become a timeless and helpful addition to both your library and your life."" --Tom Elliff, President Emeritus, International Mission Board, Southern Baptist Convention"
