The church is indebted to Dr. Garnet E. Pike for writing one of the best books on the Baptism in the Holy Spirit that I have ever read. It is a book that should be in the personal library of all disciples of Jesus Christ.
There has never been a more crucial time in human history for God's people to experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit than today. We need empowerment to live holy lives and to be a witness to our faith in Jesus Christ.
Dr. Pike's approach is down to earth, practical, and easy to read and understand. Here are some quotes from others who found this book meaningful:
"It will minister to many Pentecostals and even birth a generation that has lost the reality of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit" (Chuck D. Pierce).
"As the truth of Dr. Pike's book is applied to your life, it will bring revelation knowledge and a breath of fresh air to your spirit and ministry" (Evangelist John Todd).
"Dr. Pike articulately demonstrates that the entrance way to this power is Jesus Christ--our Savior, and our Baptizer in the Holy Spirit. He explains the primacy of speaking in tongues as a personal prayer language, distinct from the public gift of tongues referenced in 1 Corinthians 12:10. He instructs the reader in how to be released in this wonderful dimension of anointing and spiritual power" (Teryl Todd).
"Dr. Garnet Pike has clearly and simply written the basic manual for knowing and understanding the work and power of the Holy Spirit. At a time when much confusion reigns with regard to the reality of being baptized in the Spirit, he has clarified once and for all the wonderful presence of the third Person of the Trinity. This work is worth reading" (Dr. David Hopkins).
"Dr. Garnet Pike brings sound Biblical theology and practical insights together in his book, Receiving the Promise of the Father, in a way that will assist believers to move into powerful dimensions of the Holy Spirit. It offers a great balance of the Word and the Spirit" (Dr. Daniel F. Greenlee).
"God has gifted Dr. Garnet Pike with a keen mind, spiritual discernment and dynamic leadership. He has a unique ability to deal with this very important subject of being baptized in the Holy Spirit. His wisdom and expertise to bring clarity, as well as practical suggestions, make this a 'must read' book. His many years in the classroom preparing Christian leaders have resulted in an acute sensitivity with practical insights that he skillfully shares with warmth and understanding" (Dr. Ronald Q. Moore).
"Garnet Pike's Receiving the Promise of the Father is a clear and concise guide for anyone seeking to experience the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Both Biblically and practically sound, it will be a blessing to the Body" (Dr. Vinson Synan).
Dr. Pike wrote the following in a recent e-mail: "I am about to finish a teaching manual on the Gifts of the Spirit to assist pastors and leaders in their teaching ministry."
May I recommend that you take a look see at Dr.Pike's blog--it is blog.spiritlifemin.org. Dr. Pike wrote, "Barna’s report is very disturbing for the Pentecostal movement unless we get a revival of this important experience among the rising generation. Lets believe together."
