An autobiography by Charles Whitehead. Occasionally we can look at someone's life and see the Holy Spirit working in them for a particular purpose. Surprised by the Spirit shows that, unknown to him, this blessing was part of Charles Whitehead's life from his earliest days and, after his baptism in the Holy Spirit, his acceptance of the various ministries given to him have been a blessing not only to himself and Sue, his wife, but also to the entire Catholic Charismatic Renewal, in the UK and worldwide.
