Suenens Classics Back In Print
Cardinal Suenens was one of the great leaders of the Catholic Church, and one of the four moderators of the Vatican II Council, who was given pastoral oversight of the Charismatic Renewal by Pope Paul VI. It is thus particularly fascinating to read his views about the Charismatic Renewal first written thirty years ago in 1973. A New Pentecost (vol 1) is £8.99 Charismatic Renewal and Social Action (vol 3) is £5.99 Pastoral Orientation and Ecumenism (vol 2) is £8.99 All books available from Good News Books, 15 Barking Close, Luton, Beds LU4 9HG plus £1.50 p&p Also available from St Paul's Bookshop, Westminster and Slipper Chapel Bookshop in Walsingham. A Concise Catholic Catechism Those who would like to read the Catholic Catechism but think it looks just too much to manage will be pleased to hear that Michael O'Shaunnessy, a consecrated layman, from the Sword of the Spirit community network, has condensed the 2483 paragraphs into 450 - ie one fifth of its length - for easier reading. It can now be read in a couple of hours, while retaining all the essential main teachings of the Church. It is published by Continuum and retails at £7.99. Available from Catholic bookshops and Good News Books, 15 Barking Close, Luton, Beds LU4 9HG.

Cardinal
Suenens great classic "A New Pentecost", in which he shares
his understanding about the Catholic Charismatic Renewal and the difference
it made to his understanding about the role of Holy Spirit, is back
in print thanks to the Fiat Association in Belgium. The group responsible
for promoting the deceased Cardinal's insights and teaching has brought
together several of Suenens' early pastoral teaching and wisdom in
a three volume series called "The Holy Spirit: Life-Breath of
the Church". The three books bring together, "A New Pentecost"
and several of the Malines documents. "A New Pentecost"
is Volume One of the series. Volume Two is "The Charismatic Renewal
and Ecumenism" and Volume Three is "Charismatic Renewal
and Social Action", "Renewal and the Powers of Darkness"
and "Resting in the Spirit". "A New Pentecost"
particularly is one of the great classics of the Charismatic Renewal
and a must for all those who have lost or given away their copy or
never had a chance to read it in the first place.
