- What does the Holy Spirit do?
- How can I be filled with the Holy Spirit?
- How can I resist evil?
- Why and how should we tell others?
- Does God heal today?
- What about the Church?
- How can I make the most of the rest of my life?
The course was developed in the United Kingdom several years ago and has spread
rapidly so that it now used effectively in over 100 countries around the world, with over 28,000 courses currently running in many different denominations.
