Did you know it only took three centuries to convert the whole Roman Empire?
When was the last time you made an effort to convert someone?
And if you wanted to, would you know how to begin?

Secularism has taken root in every corner of our culture.
We need a renewal of enthusiasm for our Catholic Faith if we are to defeat it.
This book can help get us back on track.
Patrick Madrid calls it "a vibrant outlook on evangelism."
Brandon Vogt says it's "clear and practical."
Steve Ray calls it an "excellent resource."
Convert Shaun McAfee shows how to take the best tools of evangelization and use them to reach souls with the fullness of the Catholic Faith.
You'll learn:
- Simple ways to make the parish visitor more at home
- How to speak compellingly about the Faith
- Ways to integrate daily scripture reading into your life
- Why small groups are important for your spiritual life
- How to communicate with souls who have never considered joining the Catholic Church
- And much more!
In arguments both lucid and thorough, Benedictine Abbott Basil Christopher Butler shows why the Bible can never be the sole criterion of faith nor serve as a sufficient foundation for the full Christian life to which Jesus calls us.
Butler reminds us that Jesus did not reveal Himself to us by means of any written document whatsoever (the first inspired written texts — all the books of the New Testament — were penned decades after Jesus died).
Jesus Himself was the final word of God's revelation: the living Jesus who walked among men and spoke to them — the Jesus who, before He returned to the Father, established His Church, endowed it with authority, and implemented the Sacraments as the continuation of His living presence among men . . . a living presence that He has sustained down through the ages even unto today.
There is only one source, shows Butler, where Christians can turn for the full truth of Jesus and the means of salvation He gave us: the Catholic Church, which He Himself established 2,000 years ago.
