The Holy Ghost by Oscar W. McConkie
This book is, without a doubt, one of the best and most definitive books about the holy ghost available. It is comprehensive, and very informative.
The personage of the Holy Ghost is properly referred to as "He." The power of the Holy Ghost is correctly spoken of as "it." Both are called Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit. The Holy Ghost directs the affairs of the Church upon the earth, in the absence of the personal presence of the Lord.
He makes certainty possible, and bears more convincing testimony than can the Spirit of the Lord or light of Christ. He gives certitude to those who accept the more profitable employment of witnessing the matchless mercy of Christ. He is a Messenger, whose power rests upon the contrite, which comforts them, for he enables them to know the truth and to know that their sins are forgiven.
Knowledge of God, and of all the gifts of the Gospel, becomes available to the faithful throught the Holy Ghost. This is possible because of the mercy of the Son. Thus, the Holy Ghost is a gift above all gifts, after the Son.
