LET THE FIRE FALLThe fire of God's word has fallen on Michael Scanlan many times.' It fell on a confused 19-year-old undergraduate who didn't know whether God existed.' It fell on an ambitious student at Harvard Law School who didn't know what to do with his life.' It fell on an Air Force officer who wanted to serve the Lord.' It fell on a seminary rector who was in over his head.Here is the story of how the Lord molded Father Michael Scanlan, TOR, into a versatile charismatic leader. He is known today as a past university president, television personality, ecumenist, author, innovator in Catholic education, and a leader of FIRE, a vigorous, worldwide renewal ministry. This expanded version includes a foreword by Father Sean O. Sheridan, TOR, current president of Franciscan University of Steubenville, an afterword by James Manney, Father Michael's co-author, and a brief history of Franciscan University.
Many words from this book have helped to heal a heart that was broken 10 years ago by a non-Catholic charismatic church. It is very well written, easy to understand, and gives step-by-step instructions for any baptized Christian looking to unleash the Holy Spirit within. A particular focus on the gift of Healing. The last chapter or so is mostly about Fransican University and is kind of boring, but everything before that was so good that I had trouble putting the book down! This book will definitely put a spark in your prayer life if you follow the suggestions. I think this would be a good book for anyone SKEPTICAL about Catholic Charismatic Renewal, as I was. I am a skeptic no more. Thank you, Father, for this book.
