About this audiobook
A wise, measured, and deeply passionate invitation to a Spirit-filled life
Are you trying your best to be a good Christian but still feel something’s missing? Do the peace and joy you long for seem to elude you? Does following Christ sometimes feel like a lot of work—or like it’s just not working very well?
Much has been written and spoken—and argued!—about the Holy Spirit and what it means to be filled with the Spirit. Charles Stanley cuts through the confusion and introduces you to a living Person as real and active as God the Father and Christ the Son. Through personal stories, biblical exploration, and insightful explanation, he will help you discover:
- who the Spirit is—and how to develop a relationship with Him
- who the Spirit isn’t—and how to avoid damaging misconceptions
- how being “filled” with the Spirit actually works
- what the Bible really teaches about spiritual “signs” such as speaking in tongues
- how the Spirit can increase your capacity for faith, hope, love, and personal transformation
- what it means to “hear” the Spirit’s voice
- how to make the most of your unique spiritual gifting to build up Christ’s body
- what happens when the Spirit’s power is unleashed in your workplace, your family life, your friendships, and every other area of your life
In The Spirit-Filled Life Charles Stanley reveals how to recognize and begin to live with the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent! Dr. Stanley never disappoints. So much information to help us know the Holy Spirit better.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a great book to give you a practical understanding of how the Holy Spirit works in our lives. It is not a complete treatise on the Holy Spirit, but Dr. Stanley uses events from his own life to illustrate how the Holy Spirit works to give us a victorious life. And, finding that victory is much easier than we can imagine. It is not what we do, but what we allow the Spirit to do. Whether you are struggling with sin in your life or afraid to follow God's calling on your life, this book can help.
