About this listen

 Is the Holy Spirit at work in your life? Are you longing for an authentic experience of his presence and power?

In his latest book, The Familiar Stranger, Tyler Staton draws on Scripture, tradition, and ancient spiritual practices to help you step into a genuine relationship with the Holy Spirit and discover a fully alive spirituality.

Staton re-introduces this oft-neglected person of the Trinity, tracing the story of the Holy Spirit as it unfolds throughout the Bible, and inviting believers to close the gap between what Scripture reveals about the Holy Spirit and their lived experience.

The Familiar Stranger will challenge, inform and encourage Jesus-followers from every background to become more deeply acquainted with the person and work of the Holy Spirit - and experience his transformative, life-giving power in their lives.©2025 Tyler Staton (P)2025 Thomas Nelson Christian Living Christianity

Thanks for balancing story and insight. I found parts 1 and 2 had to be there, but part 3 is where the magic lies. If you read this book, give the time and space for part 3 to rock your socks.

Part 3 is a life changer, thanks Tyler and team
