A rabbi in Jerusalem once told evangelist Perry Stone that high priests who entered the Holy of Holies in biblical times spoke to God in a heavenly language. This launched the best-selling author into a deep study of the Holy Spirit, including little-known details of how the Spirit worked in Old Testament times. Director of the international outreach Voice of Evangelism, Stone used his research to write The Code of the Holy Spirit: Uncovering the Hebraic Roots and Historic Presence of the Holy Spirit (978-1-621-36261-6, $16.99), which Charisma House releases March 5. The Code of the Holy Spirit closely examines the Scriptures, including the Greek and Hebrew meanings of the text, to help readers understand not only who the Spirit is, but also how He works in and through believers. Stone begins by discussing God’s triune nature. He also shares nine lessons he believes the Holy Spirit has taught him, including, “You must pray continually in the Spirit.” In addition, he includes a chapter of FAQs with questions such as, “Is there a difference between being ‘filled’ with the Spirit and being ‘baptized’ with the Spirit?” He writes that speaking in tongues “accompanies the initial filling of the Spirit” and concludes with a chapter on how to receive the baptism of the Spirit based on his witnessing more than 74,000 believers receive this baptism. Stone encourages readers to study the Spirit in great detail and to listen open-mindedly to the testimonies of “believers who have received the Spirit.” For more information, visit www.charismahouseb2b.com.
