Review Quotes: A beautiful new book from an even more beautiful old soul. Tyler's life and ministry were transformed by discovering the person and work of the Holy Spirit, as was mine. Yours can be too. By calling the Spirit the 'familiar stranger, ' this book is naming the ache we all have for a deeper experience of God. There are no maps for this sacred journey, but if you are ready for more, Tyler is a trustworthy guide. This book could be your next step.--John Mark Comer, author of Practicing the Way, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, and God Has a Name
