This is Francis Chan. He is the author of the book "Crazy Love." I have not read his new book "Forgotten God" yet, but it is in the mail to me. I will let you know what I think after I read it. Below is what Amazon's web site says about the book. Toni and I have really gotten a lot out of his preaching. He is a pastor in Simi Valley, California. We invite you to check him out at his blog (http://francischansblog.blogspot.com/).
Editorial Reviews
Product DescriptionA follow up to the profound message of Crazy Love, Pastor Francis Chan offers a compelling invitation to understand, embrace, and follow the Holy Spirit's direction in our lives. In the name of the Father, the Son, and ... the Holy Spirit. We pray in the name of all three, but how often do we live with an awareness of only the first two? As Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised to send the Holy Spirit--the Helper--so that we could be true and living witnesses for Christ. Unfortunately, today's church has admired the gift but neglected to open it. Breakthrough author Francis Chan rips away paper and bows to get at the true source of the church's power--the Holy Spirit. Chan contends that we've ignored the Spirit for far too long, and we are reaping the disastrous results. Thorough scriptural support and compelling narrative form Chan's invitation to stop and remember the One we've forgotten, the Spirit of the living God.

I have not read this book yet. Actually I ordered it today. However, if it is anything like "Crazy Love," it will help me understand the Holy Spirit.
