Catholic Church at the End of an Age by Ralph Martin

Ralph Martin has 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, Mr Martin puts us in touch with information that most of us have no access to, but is vital for understanding of "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 us all. 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.
