This book demonstrates a lifestyle in which Jesus is central. The author shows how by attaching yourself to Him, you become increasingly fi lled with the Spirit. Since in this way Jesus can work from within you, it leads to the manifestation and recognition of Christ in your life. Life in the Spirit challenges us to an adventure because it is so surprisingly opposite to what is generally the norm within our Christian world. This is not a way of assignments, methods, standards, and criteria. On the contrary. It is a life in the freedom of the Spirit, a life that brings you out into a broad place within the Spirit, a life in which your own identity can bloom and in which Jesus can be followed without any inhibitions. It ends up being a life saturated by love from Above. In an enthusiastic way, with practical examples, the author describes what it means to live by the Spirit of Christ. This book incites and inspires us to walk that way from Above ourselves.
