I want some resources that talk about the person of the holy spirit deeper. Can anyone recommend anything?

“No…we are all priests. Your vocation and your contentment in your vocation should not be dependent upon your being in vocational ministry or in being a figure of public acclaim. If God wills that fine…if He does not do that, you ought to still do what he has granted you to do to the glory of God.”

-Martin Luther

Check out Sinclair Ferguson's "The Holy Spirit" published by IVP...

I'd also recommend J.I. Packer's book "Keep in Step with the Spirit"

John Owen, "The Holy Spirit". But knowing ol' Dr. Ferguson, I'm sure he addresses Owen's treatment quite a bit (and is probably much more user-friendly--in a good way.)

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

I'd also recommend Kuyper's work on it, which is probably the most extensive. It was just republished in a paperback version. R.C. Sproul has a book on it which is even more basic. So, I'd read them all in this order: Sproul, Ferguson (which is indeed outstanding), Kuyper, Owen.

Vanities and disguises have covered us, and thereby we are naked; licenciousness hath inflam'd us, and thereby we are frozen; voluptuousness hath fed us, and thereby we are sterved, the fancies and traditions of men have taught and instructed us, and thereby we are ignorant.

Owen is better, fuller and more comprehensive than Kuyper. Everyone that thinks that Reformed theology is dry and not focused on the Spirit needs to read Calvin (he was called, after all, "the theologian of the Holy Spirit" ) and Owen.

You can't get better (IMO) than Owen vols 3 & 4.

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)

I agree. In addition, some of Owen's thoughts on how the Holy Spirit operates in the church can also be found dispersed among his works on the church body, church government, and sermons on the subject.

Also, a book on the nature of true conversion by the Holy Spirit that has been helpful for me is Edwards' The Religious Affections.

I have two recommendations:

[1] With Fred I can't go past volumes 3 & 4 of Owen's works. However, Owen's writing is not that accessible for those not used to him.

[2] For something that is easy to understand but very profound a new work just released is: Graham Cole,

I must second Michael's recommendation. While not a comprehensive treatment, B.B. Warfield's work on the Holy Spirit is top-notch.
