Jack Levison
My friend Jack Levison is blogging now! You may know him from his scholarly work, most notably Filled with the Spirit, or you may have become acquainted with him through his more popular Fresh Air: The Holy Spirit for an Inspired Life (a book Daniel James Levy and I reviewed here). Maybe you haven’t read either of these books, and that would be a shame, but don’t miss out on his blog, because I am sure he’ll have plenty of wonderful insights to share there: spiritchatter.
