As mentioned CCEL (Christian Classics Ethereal Library... not Calvin) has a great selection of writings on the Holy Spirit by the likes of John Owen and Keswick writers like Andrew Murray (his book Absolute Surrender is almost entirely about submitting to the Holy Spirit) It's worth spending time searching through CCEL for all of the hidden treasures like J Hudson Taylor, RA Torrey, CH Spurgeon etc.

Last Days Ministries - articles on all topics of Christianity, not so much on Holy Spirit, but plenty worth reading:

World Invisible Library (/library) searching from the back end of the website shows a few books that aren't on the front end... and the front end is kind of clumsy, so it's easier to navigate this way. Definitely worth checking out Hession, Bonar, Tozer, Basilea Schlink, Finney etc.

There's more, but that should last you about a decade if you're thorough.

Hi Julian...

I believe that the best book on the Pentecostal Movement and their beliefs about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit was written by John Sherrill, who co-authored [i]The Cross and the Switchblade[/i] with David Wilkerson, [i]God's Smuggler[/i] with Brother Andrew, and [i]The Hiding Place[/i] with Corrie ten Boom (all of whose messages are included here at SermonIndex) -- amongst scores of other books. This book, entitled [url=http://www.amazon.com/They-Speak-Other-Tongues-Sherrill/dp/0800791304]They Speak With Other Tongues[/url] is a classic on the subject.

John Sherrill was a writer and editor for [i]Guidepost[/i] magazine. He was assigned to write an article about the Pentecostal movement during the 1960s. To further his understanding, he began extensive research into the history of the Pentecostal Movement, the gifts of the Spirit, and the doctrines that accompany them. His book includes a strict historical account of the movement, an extensive listing of the doctrines associated with the movement, interviews with various Pentecostal ministers (like David Wilkerson) and his own personal testimony.

I found the book to be quite enlightening. When I first came to the Lord as a teen, I had many questions about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. I found a copy of the book at a used book store. It was an extremely educational experience, if for nothing more to know what Pentecostals and Charismatics believe. While I don't consider myself to be a typical Pentecostal or Charismatic in a traditional sense, I do believe in both the Baptism and the evidence of tongues. My experience is somewhat different than those of other Pentecostals. I cannot simply "turn on" the "tongues" like others do (and are sometimes asked to do by pastors). I am also extremely skeptical of much of the showmanship associated with Pentecostal and (especially) Charismatic churches. But I do believe in the experience and I have also experienced it firsthand.

While I don't know if this book is available for free online, you can purchase a used copy at Amazon for as little as $2.83.

Those were the ones I remembered during lunch. That should keep you busy for another decade or so... although if you find something you like, I encourage you to download it, because I noticed that a few other recources that I was looking for have died... so sad.
