Catholic Charismatic Renewal And Life In The Spirit Michael Attah Onuh

The book, "Catholic Charismatic Renewal and Life in the Spirit" is a must read for all Christians who desire the deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit and the Pentecostal experience. It is a book that will help one to understand the work of the third Person of the Blessed Trinity, God the Holy Spirit and to maintain an ever-deepening relationship with Him. It illuminatingly explains gifts, in particular the gifts of prophecy and tongues which the author depicted as the prominent gifts of Pentecost. He maintains that the Fresh Outpouring of Pentecost is a continuous event and explains the purpose of sending the Holy Spirit. The author argues that the gift of tongues is for every baptised Christian but not mandatory, and he elaborately explains the spiritual benefits of the gift of tongues, as well as how to desire the gift of tongues and indeed other gifts. The evidence of the author's knowledge of the bible was amazing as he underpins all his claims with precise quotations from the Holy Book. This book is timely because it is only through the work of the Spirit that the tide of our contemporary society, in which shameful sins are increasingly being applauded, supported and even legally enthroned, will be turned. The understanding of the renewal leads to life in the Spirit which this book aims to foster. I therefore encourage you not only to get this book, but also to read it for the all-important understanding and to deepen relationship with God.
