The author Melvin Hodges is a man who has fully realized the power of Pentecost in his life and seeks to help all believers in a dynamic spiritual growth in the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

This book:

• first and foremost, shows that one is not born a Christian but becomes one by free choice, through repentance and personal faith in Christ;
  
• carefully examines how every true Christian can contribute to the concrete growth of their own church, in a particular sense, and of the universal church as the Body of Christ.
