Informationen zum Autor Pat Collins CM belongs to the Congregation of the Mission! known as the Vincentians. He has preached in twenty-six countries! conducted parish missions! and helped to establish the Alpha Course in Ireland. Having completed an STL degree in the new evangelisation he is currently exploring how to rekindle the faith in ways that are new in ardour! method and forms of expression. Klappentext The author writes: 'Many men and women have told me that they like to read books which help them to understand and practice their faith in a more enlightened fashion. With this in mind I have written Word and Spirit which consists of material drawn from different sources: articles for magazines! courses I have taught! and conference talks I have given. I have also written nine chapters specifically for this book. Some of them are short and simple and others longer and a little more difficult. In all of them I have aimed to steer a middle course between an abstract academic approach and a more pastoral and spiritual one. It is my hope that this pastoral potpourri will be useful to the members of prayer groups! people who have attended Christian initiation courses such as RCIA or Alpha! and Catholics who have attended on-going formation courses who want to read books which are not only relevant in current circumstances but which also act as springboards to reflection! heartfelt prayer and efforts to establish the kingdom of God by means of evangelisation.' "Full of anecdotes and esamples, it is written in an accessible style without ever becoming too simplistic or complex, and Fr. Collins's vast experience lends itself to many helpful analogies." -- Catholic Library World "Catholic Library World"
