John Driver—missionary, professor, theologian—worked for many years as a missionary for the Mennonite Board of Missions in Puerto Rico, Uruguay, Argentina and Spain, and has continued to travel regularly to Latin America, the Caribbean, and Spain for teaching assignments. Driver has been a professor in several seminaries and Anabaptist institutions in Latin America. He has written numerous books in both Spanish and English, including Community and Commitment (1976), How Christians Made Peace with War (1988), Images of the Church in Mission (1997), and Radical Faith: An Alternative History of the Christian Church (1999). John and his wife Bonnie now live in Goshen, Indiana.

It was both inspiring and renewing to read this book by John Driver – I have learned much from him. In the Latin American world in which I live and work, the Holy Spirit is often associated with loud music and spontaneous and emotional expressions. We should never forget that only in Jesus Christ will we be able to find the model of true Christian spirituality, even though it has diverse expressions in different historical, cultural, and geographic contexts.
