LET THE FIRE FALLThe fire of God's word has fallen on Michael Scanlan many times.' It fell on a confused 19-year-old undergraduate who didn't know whether God existed.' It fell on an ambitious student at Harvard Law School who didn't know what to do with his life.' It fell on an Air Force officer who wanted to serve the Lord.' It fell on a seminary rector who was in over his head.Here is the story of how the Lord molded Father Michael Scanlan, TOR, into a versatile charismatic leader. He is known today as a past university president, television personality, ecumenist, author, innovator in Catholic education, and a leader of FIRE, a vigorous, worldwide renewal ministry. This expanded version includes a foreword by Father Sean O. Sheridan, TOR, current president of Franciscan University of Steubenville, an afterword by James Manney, Father Michael's co-author, and a brief history of Franciscan University.
