General Description:

 Ralph Martin

Ten years after his best-selling book, A Crisis of Truth, Ralph Martin has again taken a look at the situation of the Catholic Church throughout the world from a quite different angle, and has offered a persuasive analysis of the spiritual factors at the heart of both the Church's difficulties and the hoped for renewal. In what reviewers have called an "awesome" marshaling of vital information about the Church's condition around the world, Martin puts us in touch with information that most of us have no access to, but is vital for understanding "what the Spirit is saying to the Church today."

This book doesn't just leave us with an impressive and startling look at the Church's actual situation. It shows us how we can respond to what we see in a way that can bring great blessings to all. This book is an amazingly rich source of documentation of what actually is happening in the Church around the world as well as an inspiring presentation of the great power of faith, hope and love to "conquer the world."

While focused on the situation of the Catholic Church, much of what the book deals with is relevant to Christians in other churches as well. A ``must read" if we are to be ready for what awaits us at the end of one age and the beginning of another.

"Martin has gathered an awesome amount of evidence in support of his thesis, which I find both convincing and important. This book serves both to shatter our complacency and to rekindle our hope that in the midst of the current spiritual crisis God is indeed renewing his Church through the Gospel and preparing a new springtime."
-- Fr. Avery Dulles, S.J., Professor of Theology, Fordham University

"I have been deeply enlightened and often convicted of sin myself by reading Ralph Martin's book. I hope many Catholics, including church leaders, will benefit as I have from reading these pages. No matter what one's stand on the issues facing the Church today, this book will be helpful to all."
-- Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, O.F.M. Cap., Preacher to the Papal Household

"Ralph Martin has given us a timely, challenging, and provocative analysis of Catholic life. While the statistical and analytical evidence of the Catholic crisis is overwhelming, it is the penetrating power of the answer or solution that dominates the book and equips the reader with hope. An impressive and prophetic work. I heartily endorse it."
-- Fr. Michael Scanlan, T.O.R., President, Franciscan University of Steubenville
