Praying Through the Names of the Holy Spirit

Praying Through the Names of the Holy Spirit helps readers develop a clearer understanding of the third Person of the Trinity through sixty devotional prayers. Tony Evans reflects on biblical descriptions such as Helper, Intercessor and Living Water, showing how each one reveals something about the Spirit’s character and work.

The book connects biblical teaching with prayer, encouraging readers to recognise the Holy Spirit’s ministry in guiding, comforting, convicting, empowering and forming believers. Its devotional structure makes it particularly useful for those who want to move beyond an abstract understanding of the Spirit towards deeper dependence upon Him.

Readers should remember that the Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force or a source of spiritual power to be controlled. He is fully divine and should be known, worshipped and obeyed within the wider truth of the Trinity. Each title and description is best understood within its original scriptural context.

Recommended for: readers seeking to understand the Holy Spirit more clearly, deepen their prayer life and grow in daily dependence upon His work.

Reading approach: consider one devotional prayer at a time, examine the supporting Scripture in context and use the written prayer as a starting point for personal worship, confession, thanksgiving and petition.
