"Again and again, when the fires of the institutional Church burned low," writes Dr. Shoemaker, " the Holy Spirit has blown upon the embers and recalled the Church to it's first vision and it's first love...Our time is not unique.But I think there was never a more widespread feeling in the Church that, in face of overwhelming responsibilities and staggering opportunities, we are singularly unable to give to the world the hope and faith and love which it most needs." In 'With the Holy Spirit and With Fire' Dr. Shoemaker makes an impassioned appeal for a new awareness and experience of the power and the prescence of the Holy Spirit to bring about the awakening needed in the Church today.
