The Gift: Discovering the Holy Spirit in Catholic Tradition
Who is the Holy Spirit? What role does the Spirit play in the life of  the Church and of the individual Christian? Beginning with the belief in  the Holy Spirit as a Person of God, and not just a “force,” this  book reveals the Catholic understanding of the presence and influence of  the Spirit God in every aspect of the Christian life. The book focuses  on the unique aspects and development of Catholic devotion to the Holy  Spirit from antiquity to the present, culminating in a look at Catholic  theology of the Holy Spirit today and the new and exciting ways the  Spirit is working among Catholics and all Christians in the 20th and  21st centuries.
