I'll admit, when I first picked this book up in the barnes and noble in downtown seattle, bored out of my mind!! Waiting for my sister to get out of her Simple Plan concert <gags>...hem, I thought it was a bit teeny-bopper(ish). Yes it started out a little slow, but oh maaaan! Once I dug my fingers into it! It was so far from that! This book had everything... it had that poetic, reverie, optimism quality to it, that I "so dearly" luuuuuurve! Mmmmm... I'm speaking like a brit wannabe. (yummy!) Man, it was perfect... good ending, good middle. Not a slow book once you really dig into. You won't want to put it down, or when you do, you'll be whimpering until you have it in your hot little hands again. I know I did, until it was done, stopping in the middle, well I felt incomplete *somehow*. Not until it was finished was my life complete once more, it's a very thought-provoking book. I could definately relate to Molly, the main charecter.Then there was the bits of romance and sex that took me over the endge... a well written book, so colorful with words and phrases does that to you, or maybe I'm easy... <shrug> But see... I don't really like a book dedicated entiresly to sex or to drugs or to music or to optomism... I kinda like a mix of everything. "Remember kiddies..."Diversity is the way to go!" haha... I guess I'm what you'd call a wry-optomist (spelled inccorectly for a reason, he hem) Oooooh! Golly! Check out my online journal! Good reads!wry-optomist.diaryland.com/040415_35.html Just copy and paste.Anywhoo... enough about me, now back to the book... to make it a bit interesting I've placed my review in the form of a instant message conversation with a good friend of mine...Here Goes:GingerSnapChild [9:14 PM]: y'know...GingerSnapChild [9:15 PM]: you remind me of this charecter in a book, who ironically is named dean too...Nonexistencejunk [9:15 PM]: lolNonexistencejunk [9:15 PM]: what bookGingerSnapChild [9:16 PM]: Guitar GirlGingerSnapChild [9:16 PM]: I believeNonexistencejunk [9:17 PM]: have u ever read the book go ask aliceGingerSnapChild [9:17 PM]: it's about this little beknown nothing of a 16 year old, who becomes the lead guitarist, lyricist and singer of this band and falls in and (out) of love with this angsty, overly-dramatic guitar dude named... deanGingerSnapChild [9:17 PM]: nopeGingerSnapChild [9:17 PM]: you should read guitar girlNonexistencejunk [9:17 PM]: haha sounds like meGingerSnapChild [9:17 PM]: it looks like a chick book, but I think you'll relateGingerSnapChild [9:17 PM]: yessumNonexistencejunk [9:18 PM]: lol oh w/eGingerSnapChild [9:18 PM]: ahh yesGingerSnapChild [9:18 PM]: angsty deanGingerSnapChild [9:18 PM]: heheGingerSnapChild [9:21 PM]: guitar girl is about this little no name, nothing england girl who goes on tour for a year... and well..... a whooooooole lotta crap happens... her manager uses her, her fellow bandmates become drug and alcohol addict's, um... this dean charecter is very sauveGingerSnapChild [9:22 PM]: hopefully you like a good brit novel once in awhileNonexistencejunk [9:23 PM]: hmm ill check it outGingerSnapChild [9:24 PM]: and here she is in the middle of it all, in central london trying to write decent songs... sing audibly, play good guitar riffs, not to mention manage to struggle with the fact that her band is *supposedly* going to start back up the big girl band revelation that was once hot and is coming back

The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
Often we are so aware of God the Father and God the Son but are weak on our understanding of God the Holy Ghost(Spirit). This book gives a good study for knowing the HG.
The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit is a classic study of the works and gifts of the Holy Spirit. The pleasure of reading Torrey is that he experienced the fullness or the baptism of the Holy Spirit yet did not let emotionalism dominate his teaching or lifestyle. Dr. D.L. Moody often called upon Torrey to speak at Moody Bible on the work of the Holy Spirit and later Torrey became president of Moody. His theology was replaced with cessationist teaching later on. For those who want clear teaching without all the personal fluff of modern authors, you will enjoy this.
