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.

"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 believers 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 Lins 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. Lins books.
