Purchase options and add-ons

Drawing on more than thirty years of ministry experience, Dave Pivonka, T.O.R., walks readers through a new way of relating to the Holy Spirit by sharing personal encounters, including an experience that changed his life. What he learned along the way will lead readers to have their own unique encounter and discover the joy of living a life moved by the Spirit.

Catholics know God as their father and Jesus as their friend, yet most bypass the third person of the Holy Trinity in their spiritual lives. In this essential guide for those who want to recognize and receive the Holy Spirit, Franciscan priest Dave Pivonka takes readers on his journey as a twenty-something Catholic encountering the Holy Spirit and Charismatic movement for the first time.

Breath of God dives into the scriptures that convinced Pivonka to pursue a life in the Spirit and shows readers how God's Spirit is present and active in everyday life. Pivonka's experience and compelling stories of faith from the lives of those to whom he ministers demonstrate how receiving the Holy Spirit allows the love between the Father and the Son, which animated Jesus' life on earth, to pour into the hearts of God's people.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Rev. Dave Pivonka's reflections on the Holy Spirit are refreshing. One cannot say enough about the third person of the Blessed Trinity, who is the Mystery of the Mystery. This Mystery is a person who encounters us in the grace of the moment." --Most Rev. Sam Jacobs, Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux

"If you want your life to become a new adventure, read this book." --Chris Stefanick, Founder and president of Real Life Catholic

"I have witnessed Fr. Dave living under the action and inspiration of the Holy Spirit for more than twenty years. I can't think of a better guide to introduce you to the person and power of the Holy Spirit." --Mark Berchem, Founder and president of NET Ministries

"In Breath of God, Rev. Dave Pivonka invites us to open our lives more fully to the Holy Spirit. He promises us the adventure of a lifetime--led by the Spirit in wonderful, unexpected ways, guided to right choices, empowered to endure trials, healed of emotional turmoil, gifted for daily life and service, and much more. In each chapter, Fr. Dave shows us how to encounter the Spirit, come to know him better, and put his graces into action. Breath of God will bring you an exciting and joyful experience of the Holy Spirit--I urge you to read it." --Bert Ghezzi, Author of The Heart of Catholicism

Couple this book with Fr. Pivonka's Wild Goose Series on the Holy Spirit which is available at WildgooseTV!
This is a very moving, personal encounter with the Holy Spirit. The short chapters and simple, straightforward writing style from the heart from Fr. Dave Pivonka is simply wonderful! I highly recommend this book and study!

5.0 out of 5 stars warm style of writing that makes difficult concepts more easy to understand and connect with
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2018

I bought Fr Dave's book after hearing him speak at my church. He has such a down to earth, warm style of writing that makes difficult concepts more easy to understand and connect with. As someone going through RCIA to become Catholic, the Holy Spirit can sometimes be difficult to wrap my head around, but reading this book has given me new understanding and excitement that is helping me grow in my prayer life and is adding valuable preparation for Baptism. My RCIA instructor always explains how the "heart stuff" is so important to have with the "head stuff" and Fr Dave truly knows how to help open both our hearts and minds through the work of the Spirit with God's love.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the basic narrative for Fr. Dave's The Wild Goose video series

I recently finished up presenting a mini retreat using the Wild Goose video series produced by Fr. Dave Pivonka and 4Pm media. It is a wonderful way to teach people about the Holy Spirit and his action in their lives.
This book is pretty much the text portion of the 14 part series with some additional material from Fr. Dave.
A very easy read. I recommended it to the people in my retreat and got good feed back.

Father Dave has a wonderful sense of humor matched perfectly to his wonderful sense of the Holy Spirit. I have recommended this book to so many friends. I find myself re-reading this book and now I am keeping my own notes in relation to not only what I have read, but what action the Holy Spirit is calling me to do daily. Read this book only if you want your life to change! Father Dave is right - the Holy Spirit is truly the Wild Goose who prods us at just the right moment. Come, come Spirit of God.

I had recently been reading about the Holy Spirit. I found a much greater understanding, love and devotion by reading this book. I see glimpses of the spirit in my life frequently. Maybe one of the gifts of understanding is just seeing what is in front of you, and inviting the spirit into your life.

I enjoy his down-to-earth approach to our supernatural nature. He sounds like one of us, but better, and so we believe we too can be in a relationship with our Lord. May God bless him for all the good that he does.
