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 Godor 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. 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.

To some, the Catholic doctrine of purgatory is murky and mysterious-even scary. What is this shadowy state between earth and heaven supposed to be? Others wonder how it's even possible for saved souls to be suffering in the afterlife if Jesus has already redeemed them. No wonder that non-Christians imagine purgatory in sensationalistic ways, and Protestants condemn it as an "unbiblical tradition of men." In Purgatory Is for Real, Catholic apologist Karlo Broussard (Meeting the Protestant Challenge) definitively tackles this most-misunderstood teaching, giving you the evidence and arguments to see (and explain to others) that purgatory is neither contrary to Scripture nor some fantastical dogma that Rome invented. Rather, it is firmly rooted in biblical truth and the faith and practice of the earliest Christians. Even more importantly, Karlo shows that purgatory is not a cause for dread but a hopeful, even joyful sign of God's love for us. It is a great consolation, a call for all Christians to pursue deeper holiness, and an opportunity to build loving solidarity with those who have gone before us. Book jacket.

Purgatory Is for Real: Good News About the Afterlife for Those Who Aren't Perfect Yet

Thanks to apologetics, millions of regular Catholics have learned to give good reasons for the things they believe, usually to Protestants who challenge their faith with a Bible verse or historical claim. But those critics of the Church have been paying attention, and now they have their own answers to rebut the standard Catholic proofs. In Meeting the Protestant Response, Karlo Broussard follows up his bestselling Meeting the Protestant Challenge by looking at the fresh counter-arguments that Evangelical pastors and scholars have developed and taught their followers to make. On subjects like the Eucharist, the papacy, salvation, and the veneration of saints, Karlo breaks down these new comebacks, shows how they don’t actually disprove the classic Catholic argument, and offers more biblical, logical ways to explain and defend the doctrines and practices of our faith.
