By Father John Randall, STD (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada: Koinonia Enterprises, 2009). 9.95
Father John Randall has been involved in the Charismatic Renewal
since its beginning. He has had many experiences regarding the Holy
Spirit's role in the Church as well as first hand experience on what
happens when the Spirit is excluded from religious formation. All too
often Catholics can think that they are doing the work of the Holy
Spirit when they are really doing their own work. What is not of the
Spirit is doomed to failure; what is of the Spirit cannot be suppressed.
No Spirit, No Church is Father Randall's personal journey as a
Roman Catholic priest. The book is filled with stories of conversion,
including Father Randall's, and of anecdotes that show how the Holy
Spirit is moving in the Church and how He wants to move.
Father Randall drives home the point that the Holy Spirit's role is
to glorify Jesus. Jesus is Lord! That truth must be recognized and
taught if the Church is to grow. Being relevant to the world all too
often means conforming to the world. It means, as Father Randall points
out, that the Church is not so much in the world as that the world is in
the Church. Nevertheless, the Holy Spirit brings hope. Even as God
purifies the Church until the true followers and believers remain, those
embracing the truths of the faith will grow stronger through adversity.
Father Randall sees our age as similar to the one in which St. Francis
of Assisi lived, and he sees God calling us in the same way that He
called St. Francis. "Go and rebuild My Church which, as you can see, is
falling into ruin."
Father Randall does not sugarcoat what is happening in the Church
today, nor does he fall into despair or discouragement. The Holy Spirit
is still in charge. This book will give the reader hope that God is
moving in a world that largely ignores Him. We have to put our finger to
the wind, as Father Randall says, and see where He is active. He may be
closer than we suspect.
No Spirit, No Church is Father Randall's personal journey as a
Roman Catholic priest. The book is filled with stories of conversion,
including Father Randall's, and of anecdotes that show how the Holy
Spirit is moving in the Church.
