"How
do you bring a friend or relative back into the Catholic Church? First,
you pray. Then, you follow Patrick Madrid's advice in Search and
Rescue." - Edward Cardinal Egan Archbishop of New York
It sounds almost too good to be true, but in Search and Rescue Patrick Madrid explains why these are among the most effective, time-tested methods for bringing family and friends into - or back into - the Church. As the publisher of Envoy magazine, the author of many apologetics books, and a veteran defender of the Faith, Madrid himself has used these methods successfully for years. But Madrid doesn't give you only the benefit of his own considerable experience: in Search and Rescue he also includes simple and genial advice from St. Francis of Assisi, St. Augustine, and other great lovers of God. Get Search and Rescue - the book that shows you how you can start winning souls for Christ today! |
Born Fundamentalist, $12.95 - 215 pages -
Soft Cover |
David Currie was raised in
a devout
Christian family whose father was a fundamentalist preacher and both
parents
teachers at Moody Bible Institute. Currie’s whole upbringing was
immersed in the life of fundamentalist Protestantism – theology
professors,
seminary presidents and founders of evangelical mission agencies were
frequent
guests at his family dinner table. Currie himself received a
degree
from Trinity International University and studied in the Masters of
Divinity
program at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
This book was written as an explanation to his fundamentalist and evangelical friends and family about why he became a Roman Catholic. Currie presents a very lucid, systematic and intelligible account of the reasons for his conversion to the ancient Church that Christ founded. He gives a detailed discussion of the important theological and doctrinal beliefs Catholic and evangelicals hold in common, as well as the key doctrines that separate us, particularly the Eucharist, the Pope, and Mary. |

Witness to Permanence $9.95 - 279 pages - Soft
Cover |
This book
is the moving story of a man who has spent fifty years in Catholic
journalism
at the heart of the story of the twentieth century Catholic
development.
It is also the story of the growth of the National Catholic Register,
the
important influence it had on the Church in America, and the role Msgr.
Matthew Smith played in developing a small diocesan newspaper into the
largest Catholic newspaper in the world, a circulation that numbered in
the millions. Through the eyes of Paul Hallett we see the changes
that the Church undergoes, both the positive effects of the Second
Vatican
Council as well as the decline and confusion that have taken place
since
then. Long regarded as one of the most popular and highly respected Catholic journalists in America, Paul Hallett’s story is inspiring, informative, and illuminating. This book will have a wide appeal among Catholic readers. Paul Hallett, a convert to Catholicism, has had a regular continuous column in the National Catholic Register for the last forty years, one of the longest records in the history of the Catholic press. He has written three other books, is still writing for the Register, and has received various awards for his Catholic journalism. |

Testimony of Hope $15.95 - 222 pages - Soft Cover |
Every
year, John
Paul II selects a preacher for a course of Spiritual Exercises for
himself
and the Vatican's Roman Curia. For the Jubilee 2000, he chose
Vietnamese
Archbishop Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan. Testimony of Hope is the
complete
test of those Spiritual Exercises. In this moving work,
Archbishop
Van Thuan addresses our need for hope at the beginning of the
twenty-first
century. As a prisoner in various Communist prisons for thirteen
years, nine of them in solitary confinement, Archbishop Van Thuan faced
what he describes as "the agonizing pain of isolation and
abandonment."
Recounting the details of those long years, he reveals the secret that
allowed him to cling to hope in the midst of despair. Archbishop Van Thuan's message to John Paul II is also for us: the hope he discovered in imprisonment is also our hope for the Church and the world at this momentous point in history. Faced with any darkness, we have a reason for confidence: Christ, Hope of the World. Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan was made the bishop of Nha Trang in 1967, and in 1975, coadjutor bishop of Saigon. Arrested only a few months after his appointment, Archbishop Van Thuan was imprisoned by the Vietnamese gobernment for thirteen years and then "released" to house arrest. In 1991, Van Thuan was expelled from Vietnam. He went to Rome and began his work in the Roman Curia as Vice President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace. Since 1998, Archbishop Van Thuan has served as the Council's President. In 2001, Van Thuan was named a Cardinal. |
