Saving souls on the mean streets of NYC

Where Business Meets The Faith What is a chief investment officer of one of America’s largest investment companies doing hailing down strangers at night on the streets of New York City? “Are you Catholic?” my friends and I ask. “Would you like a rosary? Would you like to go to confession here tonight?” “Are you kidding?” responds one man. “Been there, done that!” says another. “God, no!” chimes in a fast-walking atheist. “You Catholics are all pedophiles!” one angry woman shouts. A young woman approaches, decked out in showy attire. “Are you guys really Catholic? I didn’t think there were any Catholics left! Can I have a purple rosary?” “Sure! Where are you going? We have lots to talk about.” “I’ve got to run! I’m a stripper. But I’m going to pray with this rosary.” Watch the 80 second trailer: WATCH NOW At times, the neighborhood begins rooting for us. Strangers call out: “Way to go!” “Your courage is inspiring!” We’re in our groove now, engaging strangers with joy—and seeing some of them later in church. On the rough streets of the City, working shoulder-to-shoulder with Christ, we’re no longer alone; we feel God’s grace. You will, too, as you read the dozens of riveting – and often funny – stories in these pages, about Catholics from the financial sector evangelizing their wary New York neighbors. Filled with surprising and moving encounters, The Missionary of Wall Street shows radical action and reveals that:   The battle between good and evil for our souls is hotter than ever;   Many people are out there traveling alone but wanting to be accompanied;    Catholic voices in public discourse have a tremendous impact;   Many assume our society is doomed, but God’s power conquers all if we cooperate;    Countless “coincidences” occur when you engage people in the Faith which don’t have a natural explanation;   There are 10 ways to get people to go to Confession that never fail.  Take a page-turning journey with a different breed of Wall Street executive whose experiences are so fascinating that you may one day be tempted to join them.  The Missionary of Wall Street: From Managing Money to Saving Souls on the Streets of New York by Stephen Auth 184 pages — Paperback List price: $17.95   Today's Sale price: $14.99 ORDER NOW "These inspiring tales of Steve Auth’s faithful band of Catholic missionaries working the street corners of New York City reads like a 21st century version of the Acts of the Apostles."

NEW! Comic-Book Style Novels About Saints

Instant Classics for Easter and First Communion How much great literature and history did you learn through classic comic books?

The Saints Chronicles communicates the Faith through the adventures of some of Christendom’s most compelling historical figures.

Or St. Rose of Lima, the young girl, admired for her striking beauty, who rejected her parents’ demand that she marry and dedicated herself instead to a life of prayer and service. Or good St. Nicholas, the orphaned boy who generously ministered to the sick and the poor, and eventually became the wise and just bishop of Myra.
