Today, Roberta talks to Mike Nappa about his new book It Doesn't Have to Be This Hard: How We Are Transformed by the Holy Spirit, available from Whitaker House publishers.

WHAT DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT ACTUALLY DO?
Award-winning theologian, Mike Nappa, decided to find out.
 
Drawing from an extensive study of 246 direct references to the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, It Doesn't Have to Be This Hard reveals in-depth what God's Spirit does—and what's left for you to do. (Hint: It's not what you think!)
 
In here, you'll discover how the Holy Spirit works in, with, and through you to accomplish His purpose: You'll:

* Find out the eleven specific ways God actively energizes your spiritual experience.
* Learn the five mistakes that make your Christian life much harder than it has to be.
* See what it looks like when the Holy Spirit lives your faith.
* Realize why you never have to walk in the weakness of your own power.
* Experience how the Holy Spirit flaunts Christ through you.

If you want to live your Christian faith with joy, power, and passion, then right here is where your new life begins. Are you ready for that?
