NEW KENSINGTON, Penn., Aug. 28, 2025— It Doesn’t Have to Be This Hard: How We Are Transformed by the Holy Spirit is the newest book by best-selling author and award-winning theologian, Mike Nappa. This is the fascinating culmination of Nappa’s deep-dive study into all 246 direct references to the Holy Spirit in the New Testament.
It Doesn’t Have to Be This Hard releases from Whitaker House on October 28, 2025, in multiple formats (paperback, audiobook, e-book, and a Spanish language edition).
According to the 2025 American Worldview Inventory research study:
- A supermajority of American Christians (70%) say they do not “believe in the living presence and power of the Holy Spirit.”
- Additionally, two-thirds (67%) do not believe “the God of the Bible provides them with power or guidance.”
Mike Nappa speaks directly into this situation by asking the question, “What does the Holy Spirit actually DO?” Warm, biblically-grounded, and superbly-written, Nappa’s answer may surprise you.
