About this title

Synopsis

New York Times-bestselling author Francis Chan offers a compelling invitation to understand, embrace, and follow the Holy Spirit’s direction in our lives.
 
What if the thing our churches are missing isn’t a something, but a Someone? Francis Chan’s Forgotten God seeks to reverse our neglect of the Holy Spirit by exposing the enormous gap between what Scripture says about the Spirit and how most believers and churches operate today.
 
Through solid scriptural support and compelling narrative, Chan reveals the Holy Spirit as the Bible describes Him. His goal isn’t merely to educate readers—it’s to infuse reader’s lives with the presence of the Holy Spirit in profound ways.
