About this title

From the Publisher:

The deepest longings of the human heart can only be met in a deep relationship with God - the true spirituality we hunger for requires the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. This inspiring book shows how to tap into the power and influence of the Holy Spirit through the practice of disciplines of the Spirit: solitude (silence, listening, guidance, prayer, intercession, study, meditation), surrender (repentance, confession, yielding, submission, fasting, worship), and service (simplicity, fellowship, evangelism).
