Want to dig deeper into the role of the Spirit? Here are some books that will help you get to know him better:
The Holy Spirit by John Owen
Owen on the Holy Spirit, as this work has been known to generations of Christians, was written by the greatest theologian of the Puritan era. It ranges across themes associated with the person and work of the Spirit and is doctrinal and pastoral in character. The massive 17th century edition has been modernized and abridged to make it accessible to Christians today.

He Who Gives Life by Graham Cole
God the Father and God the Son rightfully garner much explanation and exploration, and God the Holy Spirit ought to be given the same studiousness, curiosity, and scholarship. In this addition to Crossway’s Foundations of Evangelical Theology series, Dr. Graham Cole has written a work that offers a comprehensive theology of the Holy Spirit.
This book shows the ultimate selflessness of the Holy Spirit as the member of the Trinity who always works for the glory of God the Father and God the Son and the good of the saints.

Convergence by Sam Storms
There’s no escaping the fact that a serious, and occasionally vitriolic, breach exists between Word-based evangelical cessationists and their more experientially oriented charismatic cousins. Can anything be done about the mistrust, caricature, and often denunciatory recriminations that pass between these two evangelical groups? Is it too much to hope and labor and pray for a convergence of Word and Spirit, of mind and affection, of principle and passion? Convergence: Spiritual Journeys of a Charismatic Calvinist was written to answer those troubling questions.

Showing the Spirit by Don Carson
A theological exposition of 1 Corinthians 12-14, this book provides a thorough and even-handed discussion of key charismatic issues. Howard Marshall called it “an excellent book which could do much to bring together charismatics and noncharismatics in a common understanding and experience of the Spirit.”
