How the Holy Spirit Works in Believers’ Lives Today

            “In this delightful treatise Dr. Lin makes a powerful argument for the reality of the presence of the Holy Spirit in the lives of modern believers and the need for them to be open to what He would do in and through them.  He clearly articulates the differences among baptism, filling and fullness of the Spirit and shows how each is essential to the Christian who would enjoy a life of victory and effectiveness.”

EUGENE H. MERRILL, Distinguished Professor of Old Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary

            "This book is characterized by thoroughness, clarity and simplicity.  Dr. Lin, with his language expertise, spiritual insight and many years of experience in Christian ministry, has given the Christian public a very useful tool to understand the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the believer’s life.  The baptism, filling and fullness of the Holy Spirit are clearly presented.  The filling and fullness of the Holy Spirit are so necessary to accomplish the Great Commission.  May the Lord give this book a wide reading.”

The Kingdom and What It Means to the Life of the Believer

            “Timothy Lin’s conviction is that the Kingdom of God is the central theme of biblical theology, a conviction clearly established and defended in this important work.  But his approach is not just a matter of theoretical theological reflection with no real relevance to the contemporary believer and his world.  Rather, he shows how the believer is even now in the Kingdom and how he must discharge his responsibilities and privileges as a citizen of that realm.  This book, then, is nothing short of a manual for Kingdom living.”

EUGENE H. MERRILL, Distinguished Professor of Old Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary

                “This very difficult issue of the Kingdom in Scripture is made both relevant and practical to the believer today.  Dr. Lin distinguishes the Kingdom in Preparation and the Kingdom as the Future Inheritance.  Therefore, the theme of the Kingdom brings continuity to all Scripture.  With great skill, Dr. Lin brings the issues of the present Christian life and its development into meaningful goal orientation in the future Kingdom.  Theological insight in the nature of man is displayed in the discussions of nous (mind) and self, etc.  This work will prove useful to teach the Kingdom and its importance to the Christian today.”

Genesis: A Biblical Theology

                “A proper biblical theology, as Timothy Lin here shows, must begin at the beginning, that is, with Genesis.  Every significant theological idea of both the Old and New Testament finds its taproot in this foundational text.  Careful to avoid an eisegesis that refuses to let Genesis speak for itself, Lin nonetheless is quick to show that Genesis opens the door to the Gospel message.  The Bible makes no sense without a clear grasp of the truths of Genesis, revelation brilliantly recovered and expounded in this stirring and provocative theological synthesis.”

EUGENE H. MERRILL, Distinguished Professor of Old Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary

                “The principle of Progressive Revelation is portrayed clearly in this Biblical Theology of Genesis.  In this foundational book of Scripture Dr. Lin displays not only hermeneutical principles but emphasizes the spiritual teachings and their development.  It will prove useful for both pastors and laymen in understanding Genesis and the whole Bible.  I have given my son Mike, the senior pastor of a large church, copies of all three of Dr. Lin’s books.”
