Publisher's Synopsis
Known as the Gateway of the Mediterranean, the Rock of Gibraltar has been the scene of military conflict and conquest throughout the centuries. But this book is about a very different kind of conquest, one of hearts and minds. In the early 1970s, the Holy Spirit began an invasion into the lives of hippies and housewives that changed their lives forever.Like a mighty, unstoppable river, this invasion went on to flood the sedate Catholic establishment, shaking and stirring the sleepy faithful into a new understanding of their ancient faith.This is the story of a tiny population, but the lessons to be learned apply just as well to the broader body of Christ in these changing and challenging times.Rivers on the Rock is both a history and a challenge. The author traces the development of the Pentecostal and the Catholic Renewal movements in his home town of Gibraltar through times of growth and conflict, declaration and division, prompting its readers to learn from the past and lean into the future.
