It is the equivalent of having a hands-on coach who gives practical tips at just the right moments to see more accomplished. The stories demonstrate what can happen when we step out, take risks and are led by the Spirit. Ali and Nick's passion to stay aligned with what the Holy Spirit is doing is infectious and creates greater expectancy in what God wants to do in and through us at all times and in every setting. This book has left me utterly convinced to pursue more of God's presence and power in my life.' -- Ness Wilson, Pioneer UK Leader 'Nick and Ali have written a timely book on the person, power and purpose of the Holy Spirit.

If you're hungry to keep in step with the Spirit in a healthy, biblical and powerful way, this is your book.' -- Ger Jones, Senior Pastor, Vintage Church, Los Angeles 'Powerhouse is a fitting title for this book, written by a powerhouse couple who have experienced the beauty, joy and power of living a life that is full of the Holy Spirit. At a time when the Church is more technologically savvy, systematically sharp and creatively driven than ever before, we need a book like this to remind us that it’s not by might nor by power, but by the Holy Spirit that we will be able to see the world won for Christ and see the Church fully optimised for this hour. Nick and Ali have lived this book. What an honour to drink from the well of their experience and take it back to our churches as we seek to advance the Kingdom of God on the earth.' -- Brian Nhira, Executive Pastor, Legacy Nashville 'Nick and Ali have given us a gift in this book, Powerhouse.

Pick it up, share it with friends, let it be your companion with you on your journey into deeper awareness of the Spirit. After all 'it matters who we travel with.' -- Jo Moir, Head of Spring Harvest
