Why the cover photo? As spirits are invisible it was difficult trying to find a representative photograph. As for the title - as is my want I often play on words, but whilst I originally wrote spirit with a capital S I thought it may be seen as irreverent* so changed it to lower case.

Why the cover photo? As spirits are invisible it was difficult trying to find a representative photograph. As for the title - as is my want I often play on words, but whilst I originally wrote spirit with a capital S I thought it may be seen as irreverent* so changed it to lower case. My intention for this small offering is to consider what spirits are, where they are, what they are not, finishing with the most important spirit - the Holy Spirit. *https://www.vocabulary.com says, 'The adjective holy comes from the Old English word h¿lig and is related to the German word heilig, meaning "blessed." There is a relationship between holy and whole, and the religious sense probably developed from keeping believers spiritually whole - and pure.' So perhaps not irreverent at all! In conversations and in my studying, I often become a little confused as to what spirit is being talked of, thus my perhaps feeble attempt at differentiating between the various uses of the word. This is not a comprehensive academic approach but does cover many misconceptions or perhaps issues some have not even contemplated. Certain aspects will, as is usual in my books, possibly be controversial, but all I ask is that people think for themselves and not simply rely on their favourite minister, author, or tradition. The three main elements to this book are areas that I have pondered over the years, some of which I have discussed in my Home from Home (HFH - which looks at how people can wrongly look at issues in a very safe, comfortable, don't-upset-the apple-cart manner) series and have included some of my findings in this book. Whilst spirits are synonymous with angels (as there are no other types of spirit - apart from the alcoholic version) I attempt to cover the spirit (singular) that is part of us, that returns to God, and of course the Holy Spirit.
