The Seeker's Guide to the Holy Spirit: Filling Your Life With Seven Gifts of Grace

About this book

The eleventh book in the popular Seekers Series enlightens readers to the mystery of the Holy Spirit. The Seekers Guide to the Holy Spirit explores the Holy Spirit and the seven spiritual gifts of wisdom knowledge understanding fortitude piety counsel and fear of the Lord. While admitting that describing the Holy Spirit is like "trying to describe the wind " author Bill Dodds uses a casual conversational style and everyday examples to translate complex theological concepts. In each chapter Dodds uses Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church to examine one of the seven gifts and an aspect of the Holy Spirit. He follows with a discussion of the opposite of each gift (e.g. foolishness rather than wisdom) and reveals the abundance of joy found when accepting these gifts.
