  Saints Pray For You

  $18.95

  When you think of saints, what image comes to mind? Maybe halos and angel wings, or maybe a football team from Louisiana. Or maybe you think of one of the most difficult stumbling blocks that Catholic belief presents for Protestants: the doctrine of the communion and intercession of the saints. Why do Catholics pray to dead people? How can we expect those same people to pray for us . . . and why would they want to? What about bowing to relics and statues? And where is all this in the Bible? Doesn’t it say that we’re all saints? These questions and others can keep other Christians at arm’s length from Catholicism-or worse, force them to conclude that Catholics have hopelessly mixed up true biblical religion with superstition and remnants of paganism. But in The Saints Pray for You, Karlo Broussard brings the answers, backed up with the Bible. He shows how the communion of saints is not a medieval fantasy, and their intercession is not a joke the Church plays on us. Appealing to the witness of Scripture and the practice of the early Church, while neutralizing the misguided prooftexts that Protestants deploy, Karlo convincingly defends the ancient Christian belief that the saints are our family in heaven and our prayerful allies in the work of our salvation.

  Prepare The Way

  $13.59

  Sharing the gospel with family and friends (or a stranger on the computer screen) can be challenging enough. When they won’t even hear you out, because of all the mental roadblocks they’ve built up, it’s even harder.

  In Prepare the Way, Karlo Broussard helps you tackle that essential first step to apologetics and evangelization: getting people to listen with an open mind.

  So many in our culture today are trapped behind mental, moral, and personal obstacles that prevent them from even glimpsing God- or considering the claims of Christ and the Church. They may be earnestly seeking truth but infected with relativism. They may be otherwise open to the Good News but think that Christianity is only for people who reject science and hate women. Or perhaps they might listen to what you have to say about Catholicism–if only that religion wasn’t so full of ignorance and superstition.

  Even our best witness can bounce right off folks like these if we don’t prepare the way first, breaking down the barriers and leaving minds and souls free to encounter the truth. So Karlo gives you not just evidence and arguments but step-by step strategies, based on asking the right questions, that you can use–along with prayer and gentle charity–to help them overcome their obstacles and make a straight path for the Lord.
