God Inside Out

“This is simply the best contemporary book on the person and work of the Holy Spirit of which I am aware. Simon’s style of writing is accessible and easy to understand, but his topic and his content are both deep and rich. Here is a masterful communicator addressing the third person of the Godhead in a way that will inform, challenge, comfort, and inspire.”

Revd Dr Bill JohnsonProfessor of Philosophy, Husson University; Senior Pastor of Pittsfield First Baptist Church, Pittsfield, Maine, USA.

“Simon Ponsonby is in my view one of Britain’s finest Christian communicators: he is thoughtful, insightful and passionate. Get ready to be inspired and challenged to go deeper with God.”

Amy Orr-EwingDirector, OCCA The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics

“Simon is what we would call a ‘people’s theologian’. Someone once said ‘to communicate something simply, you have to understand it profoundly’, and Simon thoroughly fulfils that in his excellent teaching.”

John and Debby WrightNational Directors, Vineyard, UK

“This is a masterly and wide-ranging study of one of the most vital doctrines for the Church today – mind-stretching, heart-warming and faith-challenging. An immensely readable piece of serious theology at a time when there is so much muddled thinking about the Spirit.”

Canon David MacInnesFormer Rector of St Aldates, Oxford, UK and University Missioner

“For a church that seems to insist on separating the work of theology and the person of the Holy Spirit, God Inside Out is a much needed response. Simon’s logic is enviable, but for all that he is as passionate as someone in the first flush of charismatic enthusiasm.”

Revd Dr Ian StackhouseSenior Pastor, Millmead Centre

“Writing from a Charismatic perspective Simon Ponsonby maintains the emphases of the Bible’s teaching, stressing the intimate relationship of the Spirit with God’s Word and his work of salvation through Christ. Many of the differences between Evangelical Christians would be kept in perspective if we all followed his example of faithful and passionate engagement with Scripture.”

Vaughan RobertsRector, St Ebbe’s, Oxford

“Simon is a most gifted theological communicator. He thinks with rich understanding and writes with piercing clarity. This book gives great handles enabling us to wrangle with and grasp the vast subject of the Holy Spirit. And as a close friend, I can tell you his writing is consistent with his Spirit-filled living.”

Joseph SteinbergCWI Director and author of The Y Course

“Simon has both an informed mind and a warmed heart, and he has drunk deeply of the God who satisfies. Reading this book will provoke thirst, thinking and theology! It is a rare read in an age in which there is no end of the writing of books. Here, at last, is one which is essential to read and think about. Read it and grow!”

Canon David WhiteDiocesan Missioner Cornwall & Rector of St Austell parish

“Simon Ponsonby is one of those rare men who, without contradiction, has wedded a keen intellect to a simple faith in Christ, and thus is able to stand with his feet firmly planted in the twenty-first century, while hungering in his heart for union with Christ.”

Elliot TepperInternational Director of Betel Ministries

“Simon is a perfect combination of head and heart working together. He will amaze you with his knowledge and understanding and then challenge you with his humour and insight. This book will be deep and wide because that is who Simon is – a man who digs deep and finds treasure and then stretches wide, makes you laugh and gives you many practical answers to life!”
