Synopsis

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.

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.

About this title

Review

"I love this book ! Most of us know what it's like to share the Faith with skeptical friends and family but make no headway. We've all been there. But why? Because they were unprepared to receive it. Something blocked the reception. First, we needed to clear away barriers on the path. Karlo Broussard is a master at this, and will show you how." -- Brandon Vogt "Author- Founder of ClaritasU."

"Many Catholics are confronted by friends and colleagues with objections not only to the Catholic Church and its moral positions, but also to belief in God and Jesus. Broussard has prepared a handbook of strategies from contemporary and traditional sources for responding to 34 of the most frequently posed challenges to faith. Clearly articulated, well-argued strategies,.. a valuable resource!" -- Fr. Robert J. Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D. "President, Magis Center of Reason and Faith"
