The Holy Spirit and the Catholic Laity: Towards A Renewed Mode of Evangelization

This book, The Holy Spirit and the Catholic Laity: Towards a Renewed Mode of Evangelization, is unique both in content and style. It is unique in content because it is one text that attempts to relate and situate the place of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Laity among the myriads of literature on the Holy Spirit. It is unique in style because it is theological in approach, pastoral in orientation, and simple to comprehend. It has straightforward details, a rich resource material on the Holy Spirit, as well as, a prayer book for devotion to the Holy Spirit. It is written in a pattern to attract any class of readers, including those seeking academic details and those seeking spiritual insight and direction. It is relevant for those teaching and learning catechism, those who want to know more about the Holy Spirit, and a simple manual guide for the Laity on the Holy Spirit. It is, therefore, recommended for all those who fall into these categories, especially, the Lay Faithful.

The Holy Spirit as described by the Church is the principal agent of evangelization. In this book, the author floodlighted its importance and draws the attention of the Catholic Lay faithful to a renewed devotion to the person of the Holy Spirit who will aid them in becoming frontline partners in the work of the mission of the Church, beyond the usual meetings and conferences. This book is recommended for all persons.

Auchi Diocese I have carefully read through this book arranged in nine chapters, titled: The Holy Spirit and the Catholic Laity, Towards a Renewed mode of Evangelization which was enriched with prayers, Novenas, and Hymns to the Holy Spirit. The gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit were exposed to the benefits of all lay faithful.This book is a perfect resource for all Lay faithful especially Laity Executives, parishes, schools, and individuals who want to learn and understand more about the Holy Spirit, the power of the Holy Spirit, and strength in Evangelization.Surely, this book is important for us all. I welcome the publication of this important book and I recommend it to lay faithful at all levels, RCIA instructors, catechists, pastors, teachers, and indeed all Catholics who want to explore and understand more deeply the riches and treasures of the Holy Spirit, Catholic faith and Evangelization.
