The Holy Spirit in the Life of a Person in History
Selecting a Person in History
This part of the assignment is more complicated. There is no single book to help you if you do not already have a person in mind. Because of this, the best approach is to already have someone from history in mind and search the Library catalog to find resources on that person. In the catalog simply search the person's name or the person's name and biography (e.g., Oral Roberts AND biography) .Some of the books listed in the catalog or on this page may be displayed in the HSRC for you to use.
If you don't know who you want to write about, below are resources that may help you.
A great way to search the catalog would be to do a keyword search for "biography AND spirit". A list of biographies related to "spirit" will appear in the results, from which you can choose. Keep in mind that some individuals may not have written about the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives, s finding relevant results may require some additional searching of the catalog.
Another great source for short biographies of significant figures in the Spirit-empowered movement is Healing and Revival website, especially the biographies section. While this would not be a good source to use for your paper citations, it has a wonderful list of individuals from which you could select someone you would like to study.
