So many Christians are trying to follow Jesus but are feeling lost or lukewarm along the way. You read about the Holy Spirit, and you see the miracles throughout Acts. You hear Jesus, or Paul, or Peter talk about a new power, but you are bewildered by what this power would – could – actually look like in your life … in the day-to-day details.You know there is something missing. Perhaps the Holy Spirit is your “missing link”? In The Missing Link, you will follow Peter daily as he learns to live with this new power following Jesus’ return to Heaven. You will see the Holy Spirit in a whole new light. You will learn to appropriate and live with this new power Jesus promised.Holy Spirit power! Energy … Clarity … Creativity. You can have it. You can live it. There is more … so much more.
