Francis Chan, Pastor of Cornerstone Church of Simi Valley, California, has a new book Forgotten God. It is a book on the Holy Spirit. His book Crazy Love I have read, but I have only seen the beginning of his new book. Here is an excerpt:
“When we are referring to God, balance is a huge mistake. God is not just one thing we add to the mix called life. He wants an invitation to permeate everything and every part of us. In the same way, seeking a 'healthy balance' of the Holy Spirit assumes that there are some who have too much Holy Spirit and others who have too little. I have yet to meet anyone with too much Holy Spirit. Granted, I've met many who talk about Him too much, but none who are actually overfilled with His presence. Is it possible to get enough or even too much God? Is there a point when a person can be satisfied with the amount of intimacy, knowledge, and power of God he or she experiences? I don't see how there can be, because doesn't every encounter with God only cause us to thirst for Him more?"
