Mark Driscoll is one of the best thinkers and Bible teachers in the church today. He is also deeply spiritual and understands the work of the Holy Spirit from his own personal experience. Mark is a dear friend of mine, and there is no one I respect more than him as a theologian, pastor, Bible teacher, and true man of God. Spirit-Filled Jesus is a great book that will enlighten your understanding of Christ and enrich your spiritual life.

When we think about what being Spirit-filled looks like, we probably think about the Book of Acts and the amazing work God did through the first Christians. But Mark reminds us that the perfect example of living by the power of the Holy Spirit was Jesus Himself. Whether he is teaching or writing, Mark has a gift for making the Bible understandable and accessible. Im so glad hes written this book, and you need to check it out!

Sometimes we mistakenly rely on our own strength rather than realizing we have access to a power greater than our own, the same power that raised Jesus from the grave. In his book Spirit-Filled Jesus, Pastor Mark Driscoll challenges us to lean into the Holy Spirit when making decisions, resisting temptation, and overcoming the obstacles that are holding us back. This book will change the way you relate to people, endure suffering, and grow your faith.

AUTHOR; HARVEST CRUSADES
If we want to know what God is like, we need to look at Jesus. If we want to know what a genuinely Spirit-filled life looks like, we also need to look at Jesus. His entire life and ministry were guided and empowered by the Spirit. He fulfilled His Fathers will as led by the Spirit. He performed His miracles by the power of the Spirit. And He spoke truth as informed and prompted by the Spirit. In Spirit-Filled Jesus, Mark Driscoll cuts through the theological grids, personal speculations, and unfounded notions that so often cloud our understanding of the Spirits work. Youll find this book to be theologically accurate, culturally relevant, personally challenging, and at times laugh-out-loud funny. I highly recommend it.

Spirit-Filled Jesus comes from the pen of one of todays great Bible expositors. Marks insights come from careful study of the Scriptures as well as a careful eye on our evolving culture. The next generation of believers will have to be of a different flavor with faith that will be contended for as well as courage lived out with no compromise. And yet the purpose of all truth is love, and that will come from the Spirit of God within us. If the light of the gospel is going to light up a new generation of faith, it will come from Christians who have a good handle on what it means to follow Jesus Christ. Mark has given a gift to the church in sharing how the power of Christ can permeate our lives.

Jesus didnt live, learn, love, and lead from self-help. He did it by the Spirits help. Marks book Spirit-Filled Jesus not only will increase your theological understanding but will also help you walk in the Spirits power in every area of your life.

LEAD PASTOR, JAMES RIVER CHURCH
I have known Mark Driscoll from afar for years, but since he and his family moved to the Arizona desert, we have become friends. Mark has a great mind, a deep love for Jesus, and a passion for the Word of God. In Spirit-Filled Jesus, Mark weaves personal stories, insights from Scripture, quotes from authors, and practical wisdom into a tapestry of truth that is both compelling and enlightening. In this book Mark stays focused on life-giving truth. He avoids nonessential issues because of his commitment to producing healthy disciples of Jesus. I admire Marks writing because it is inspired by the Holy Spirit and full of truth, which will be helpful to both experienced believers as well as those just starting to follow Jesus.
