Return: How to Draw Your Child Back to the Church
By Brandon Vogt
Paperback | 216 Pages | 6" x 9" | Retail Price: $19.95
The statistics are troubling: an average of 6.5 people leave the Catholic Church for every one that joins, and 50% of young people who were raised Catholic are no longer Catholic today. The Catholic Church is hemorrhaging young people.
The passive wait-and-see approach is no longer an option. We need a different strategy. We need to understand the real reasons why our young people drift away, and we need a game plan to bring them home. We need Return.
Arguing Religion: A Bishop Speaks at Facebook and Google
By Bishop Robert Barron
Hardcover | 159 Pages | 5" x 7" | Retail Price: $19.95
Every day, millions of people fight about religion. Whether with friends, family, or on social media, we expend lots of energy, lots of sharp words, and lots of strong feelings. But very few know how to have a good religious argument—a rational, respectful, and productive exchange of differing views. In Arguing Religion, Bishop Barron shares how we all—believer and unbeliever alike—can share better discussions about God.
The New Apologetics: Defending the Faith in a Post-Christian Era
Edited by Matthew Nelson
Paperback | 288 Pages | 6" x 9" | Retail Price: $24.95
For Christians, apologetics, or giving a reasoned explanation or defense of the faith, is a necessity and duty. Yet the cultural moment in which we find ourselves today demands, possibly more than any other time in history, a New Apologetics—a potent and spirited renewal of apologetics that reaches new audiences, takes new approaches, looks to new models, and tackles new issues.
The New Apologetics is a kind of intellectual and tactical map for the apologist who wants to be heard in today’s world.
