Pentecostal Perspectives

“Page after page, Timothy Laurito provides truths from Scripture that are essential for Spirit-filled living. When endorsing a book, it's important to determine three things: (1) Does the author have something to say? (2) Does the author practice what they write about? And (3) Does the author have the right motivation? In Pentecostal Perspectives, Dr. Laurito checks all three boxes. This is a must-read resource for both the pastor and the parishioner.”


—Doug Clay, general superintendent, Assemblies of God USA





“Timothy Laurito’s Pentecostal Perspectives ably demonstrates that a Pentecost experience of the Holy Spirit is not an isolated incident in the life of a believer but a way of approaching—and navigating—all of faith and practice in one’s walk with Jesus Christ. He writes in an accessible and winsome style yet with biblical and theological substance. Anyone who has ever wondered, at least to themselves, ‘What difference does Pentecost make for the Christian life?’ will find this work helpful.


—Tony Richie, associate professor of theology, Pentecostal Theological Seminary





“In Pentecostal Perspectives, Timothy Laurito offers a framework for thinking about Spirit-driven living that is much needed for our time. Combining exceptional scholarship with an approachable tone, this work is a blessing to the Pentecostal church as contemporary leaders seek to allow the Spirit to create new realities in their own lives first.”


—Mike Rakes, president, Evangel University





“This timely new book comes in a season when many within the Western church struggle with identity issues. In Pentecostal Perspectives, Timothy Laurito makes a powerful case for what it means to be Pentecostal and what Spirit-filled living should look like.”


—Samuel Rodriguez, president, National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference





“Timothy Laurito has emerged as a leading academic voice within the Spirit-filled church. Yet the practical, relevant approach taken in Pentecostal Perspectives makes this rich text accessible to non-academicians as well.”


—Kermit S. Bridges, president, Southwestern Assemblies of God University
