Sarah Bowling dares to tackle the charismatic elephant in the room. In a time when clear teaching on the Holy Spirit is so rare, Bowling not only rises to the challenge, but with laser-like precision shines biblical light on the practical function of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. Bowling transparently walks us through her own life experiences and takes us on her personal journey from cynicism to clarity and from skeptic to advocate. This is a life-changing book.

Sarah Bowling helps us to see the Holy Spirit as our Helper, based on Jesus teaching. Her insights are very practical for both evangelicals and charismatics and are grounded in the Bible. When you read this book, you will see that the Holy Spirit is neither flaky nor retired in our modern world!

Sarah Bowling has hit it out of the park with Heavenly Help . Her vulnerability regarding growing up in the charismatic movement alone is worth the read. This is a must-read!
Robby Dawkins, international conference speaker and equipper; author, Do What Jesus Did and Identity Thief
There are few people I can think of who are as anointed to teach about the Holy Spirit than my friend Sarah Bowling. She has spent her life searching and dissecting Gods Word to discover truths that can help all of us live victoriously on this earth. Heavenly Help is a book for Christians to learn how to tap into the power of the Holy Spirit every single day so that we can become all God has called us to be. Sarahs down-to-earth, humorous and sometimes very candid approach to the Holy Spirit makes this a great readeasy to understand whether youve just come to believe or have been walking with God for a very long time.
Wendy Treat, senior pastor, Christian Faith Center
As the daughter of Marilyn Hickey, Sarah comes from a rich heritage of teaching and proclaiming the Word of God. She is a great teacher in her own right and has written a refreshing and modern insight into who the Holy Spirit is and how He functions in todays world. This book will compel you to invite the Holy Spirit into your daily life and let Him upgrade your thoughts, relationships, priorities, decisions and values so that you can make an eternal difference in todays world. Its a great resource for anyone who wants to take their walk with Jesus to the next level.
Dr. Frank Damazio, lead pastor, City Bible Church; chairman, Ministers Fellowship International; author, Strategic Church and Strategic Vision
Many years ago I came into a deeper experience with the Holy Spirit because I read John 1416, where Jesus taught so much about the Person and work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. So I got really excited when I heard that Sarah Bowling was writing a book about those incredible passages in Johns gospel. No one explains the Holy Spirit better than Jesus! And I know that Sarahs book is going to help many people experience His power, His comforting presence and His intimate counsel. You will love this book!
J. Lee Grady, director, The Mordecai Project; author, Fearless Daughters of the Bible and The Holy Spirit Is Not for Sale
Sarah Bowling offers a clear-eyed and biblical perspective on the Person and operation of the Holy Spirit. With refreshing honesty and candor, Sarah shares from her own personal experiences with the charismatic movement as well as her path toward embracing the move of the Holy Spirit in her own life. If you have questions about the purpose and function of the third Person of the Trinity, or if you want to give God a more active role in your own life, this book will greatly minister to you.
Jonathan Wiggins, senior pastor, Resurrection Fellowship
Sarahs insights on the Person of the Holy Spirit will awaken the hearts of all who read this life-giving book. Sarahs love for the Person of the Holy Spirit is contagious. A timely book as we live in the age of the Holy Spirit.
Jude Fouquier, lead pastor, The City Church
From her unusual vantage point as the daughter of one of Americas best-known female evangelists, Sarah Bowling bravely takes on the task of speaking honestly about her struggles to understand the true work of the Holy Spirit. I recommend the book to all who are on the same journey.
