As the Waters Cover the Sea
In the empowering book titled, As the Waters Cover the Sea
, authors Billy Wilson and Vinson Synan describe and give examples of the major impact of the Holy Spirit on our lives. The Holy Spirit's influence begins in our parents' lives before our birth, continues in our mother's
womb, accompanies us through childhood, and remains with us into adulthood. Inspired by Habakkuk 2:14 (NIV), the book explores the concept that the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, just as the waters cover the sea. The authors emphasize how the Holy Spirit engages in shaping our character and spirit from birth to death through what they term as Spirit-engaged development. The book also discusses the Holy Spirit’s role in shaping history and influencing future generations, showing our ability to empower others globally.
The book is exceptionally written, leaving me with minimal criticisms and rather gaining my admiration for the valuable information it provides for personal spiritual growth and leadership development. However, one suggestion for improvement would be to include a section guiding readers on identifying their unique strengths, enabling them to effectively assist others. It would be beneficial if the book went into the specifics of each gift, describing their unique strengths and offering guidance on how individuals can apply them. There were many times in this book where the authors said how this new generation is hungry for the spiritual power that the Holy Spirit brings as well as leaders who can help walk

with them to this reality. I completely agree with this because I feel that this generation, my generation, is wanting to spread the word of God to people who want to be saved but do not know how. I can see the leaders being created around me to help guide and walk with those who are “hungry” for the Lord. My goal for my life is to be one of those leaders helping people to know the true power of the Lord. This book really helps create a way to help see how the Lord is working to create a Spirit-filled generation.
