Fresh Air: The Holy Spirit for an Inspired Life

By Jack Levison

"A rare and remarkable achievement." Eugene PETERSON

Have you ever read a book that traced the path of an inspired life—a life we all long for—not just from the mountaintop or in the monastery, but in real life—inspired life—in the gritty rhythm of our ordinary days?

This revised anniversary edition of Fresh Air captures the poignant stories of a husband and father, the provocative insight of a renowned scholar, and the down-to-earth strategies of a gifted teacher. The result is stunning. In this profound and winsome book, you will discover the fresh breath of the Holy Spirit in the commonplace of every day.

Filled with fresh insight and Jack's depth of personal experiences over a lifetime of faith, this new edition of Fresh Air is a go-to guide for anyone who wants to meet the Holy Spirit for the first time, as well as for those who long for a bolder inspired relationship with the Holy Spirit.

"His scholarship is spot on, his human warmth and Christian compassion are everywhere." N.T. WRIGHT
