Sober Intoxication of the Spirit

Acts 2:15: "These are not drunk, as you suppose..." What was going on that moved Peter to speak these opening words to the crowd that first Pentecost morning? How did the apostles experience the Holy Spirit? How did he empower them? What does this scene in the streets of Jerusalem mean for us today? The author offers pastoral advice and leads the reader through passages of Scripture and the Fathers of the Church to remind us of the incalculable power of the Spirit available to us. This spiritual "intoxication" purifies us of sin, renews the heart, enlightens the mind and brings us joy. As St. Augustine said of the Spirit, ""He found you empty and he filled you...I like this kind of intoxication." This is a book for all who feel a need to open their lives more fully to the powerful breath of the Spirit which is blowing through the church today, "as in a new Pentecost." Paperback, 5 x 8, 176 pages. (©2005)
