Philip J. Noordmans’ Book Shines Light on the Empowering Work of the Holy Spirit

Phil is a follower of Jesus Christ who has tasted the goodness of God and the powers of the age to come and hungers for more. “FireStarter: The Holy Spirit Empowers” chronicles Phil’s academic and experiential transition from being a hard-core dispensationalist – convinced that the manifestational gifts of the Spirit had ceased – to a balanced charismatic, warmly welcoming the empowering work of the Holy Spirit in our lives and communities.

The average reader will be drawn into Phil’s personal stories and track with his careful exegesis. Phil’s thoughtful study demonstrates that Jesus’ promise in Acts 1:8 regarding receiving power when the Holy Spirit comes “upon” you is rooted deep in the soil of the Old Testament. Numerous other themes are also covered including the meaning of “baptism with the Holy Spirit.”

“FireStarter” makes a great gift.

Grow in your capacity to stay in step with the Spirit. What an adventure. Get a copy of Phil’s book, “FireStarter: The Holy Spirit Empowers” on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Author Bio

After graduating from Wheaton College in 1972 with a BA in History, Phil enrolled in Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, CA, and graduated in 1975 with a M.Div. In the early 1990s, he returned to Fuller to work on his D.Min,, graduating in 1997.

Phil is a family man and a randomly successful organic gardener.

In the year 2000, Jesus initiated a new learning curve in Phil’s life. Jesus began using His Word, His Spirit, and trusted friends to open his mind and heart to understanding and experiencing the empowering work of the Holy Spirit. This journey continues to this day as Phil endeavor to “keep in step with the Spirit,” (Galatians 5:25, ESV). Truly, Jesus advances His agenda in our lives and communities “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts,” (Zechariah 4:6, ESV).
