Soar by Kenny Luck

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Luke 11:13

Soar by Kenny Luck

Soar is part of a four-part series on discipleship for men.  This particular book deals with the Holy Spirit.  The question is simple, are you using the full power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish all things for God?  Though the question is simple, the opening of this gift is not always the same.

 As Christians, we hear a lot about the Holy Spirit.  How He is our guide, our interpretor, the power of God in us.  Still, do we ask for it?  As I read this book I enjoyed Kenny's stories and leading through understanding exactly what we have been promised.   This is not from an overly charismatic standpoint.  There is no talk of slain in the spirit or other unbiblical manifestations.  However, he does not mince words.  Jesus said we are to grow as His disciples.  That means we move from milk to meat.  The Holy Spirit is a major part of that growth.  Additionally, Kenny uses scripture to look at how we can affect others for the glory of God through the prompting and power of the Spirit.  It is about a lot more than just ourselves, its our mission.  Finally, mention of Jesus is not so predominant in the beginning of the book as at the end.

I liked this book.  It had some great scriptural references.  Also, I enjoyed how Kenny brought the idea of the Holy Spirit from our own personal enrichment to also helping those around us.  I know I will be mindful of prompting, and recognizing when others may have a 'less than full' Christian walk with the Spirit.  There is some good teaching in here.

I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars.  My only reason is that I wish the introduction had more of the grounding in faith in Christ,
