Hmmm, let’s see, neither of those 2 books answer her question, do they? If you know of a good Charismatic Catholic book on the gifts to recommend, then please do. Since you obviously are trying to direct her away from that, you need to repent, since both JP II and Benedict have backed the Charismatic movement in the Church as valid.Hmmmm, Pansy, I notice from your profile that you a new convert to the Catholic church! (so am I - about 10 years) Welcome!!
I think you would do well to stick to only Catholic books that are orthodox and have a good reputation. Here are two great ones:

**The Sanctifier: The Classic work on the Holy Spirit **
Archbishop Luis M. Martinez
In this book Archbishop Martinez reveals the secrets to holiness by guiding us to understand the gentle ways in which the Spirit acts in our lives. The author explains how the Spirit is present to us and leads us to the Father and the Son, especially through the virtues of faith, hope, and charity. 349 pages

**The Spirit: Giver of Life and Love **
John Paul II
In the third volume of the series, Pope John Paul II explores the relation of the Holy Spirit to the life of the Church as a whole, to that of the individual Christian, to the sacraments, to the Church’s eschatological hope, and to ministry. 459 pages
OK, perhaps I jumped the gun. I apologize.I need to repent? I am abviously directing her away?
Have you read those books? I simply wanted to offer good solid catholic recommendations to a fellow catholic. These books do speak of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Why would you assume that I have anything against the Charismatic Movement? I do not think your reply to my post was appropriate nor charitable.
Please explain why I should repent.
