Surprised by the Spirit: A New Work on Prayer and Holiness

Surprised by the Spirit: A New Work on Prayer and Holiness by Edward J. Farrell. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780871930309.

This may be one of the most important and unusual books you will ever take into your hands. It speaks of God and divine things in an immediate, personal way - out of lived experience. And it tells of the place which prayer, the Beatitudes and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit should occupy in your daily life. Father Edward Farrell, author of “Prayer Is a Hunger,” writes directly and cogently about the meaning of Christian prayer, practical ways to improve it and our relationship to the Spirit. He also offers dozens of insights into what constitutes the real challenge of Christian life today. Father Farrell has once again given us the unusual kind of book that we must read, then read again and meditate upon – and then make a special part of our lives.
