Subtitled 'The work of the Holy Spirit today', I first read this little book by John Stott in about 1986/87 when there was a lot of debate about charismatic issues. It's great strength is that it is down-to-earth exposition of biblical material - you'd probably call it 'sane' and it is, but it's more: it's real; it's properly deep without being dense or inaccessible. Just a great book to recommend to anyone working through the issues.
"the overwhelming emphasis of the New Testament letters is not to urge upon Christian readers some entirely new and distinct blessing, but to remind us of what by grace we are, to recall us to it, and to urge us to live by it." (p.44)
