    Every year it kills more people than heart disease, stroke, lung disease, cancer, diabetes, AIDS, accidents, murder, and war—put together. It kills almost as many people as all other causes combined. It is the single largest preventable cause of death.

It is abortion.

Every year 44 million children die before birth due to induced abortion. By comparison, only 57 million people die after birth from all causes of death annually. Abortion is by far the biggest killer today. Yet few realize the gravity of the situation. Many have been deceived into thinking that abortion doesn’t really kill children, and others — who do recognize the humanity of the unborn — simply do not understand the urgency of the problem. That is why it is time for straight talk about abortion.

In Catholic Answers booklet, Straight Talk About Abortion you’ll receive an abundance of useful information including: Facts about unborn children Facts about abortion What the Bible says about abortion What the Church says about abortion How to counter common arguments which try to justify abortion And so much more…

    With book, Converts And Kingdoms, historian Diane Moczar has written a marvelous book about great converts who changed not just the Church but also the destiny of human civilization.

In her accessible and easy-to-read style she makes history come alive.

Mere centuries after its beginning as an obscure Jewish sect, the Catholic Church stormed the ancient Western world, and from its Roman remnants and barbarian tribes a united Christendom was forged. How do we explain this remarkable success? And what can we learn from it?

In Converts and Kingdoms, Professor Moczar tells the story of early Christianity’s faith, courage, and cunning—chronicling the labors of missionaries and martyrs (with no small help from Providence) to spread the gospel and lay the foundation for the most magnificent culture human history has ever known.

With her stirring narrative style, Dr. Moczar reveals a young Church ardently occupied with the great work of conversion: with saints and generals, priests and kings alike filled with zeal to make disciples of all nations. From the Roman temples at the heart of the old world to the Aztec altars on the border posts of the new, you will encounter heroic tales of the nascent Faith, including:

    The emperor who put his trust in the one God rather than the myths and sorcery of his predecessors—and changed the course of the world to come.
    The would-be hermit who became an accidental missionary—and helped birth the quintessential Catholic kingdom. Pious monarchs who repelled barbarian invaders—and then welcomed them into the Christian family.
    The former slave boy who returned to the land of his pagan captors—and turned it into an island of saints and scholars.
    The Marian miracle that scattered the demons of human sacrifice—and opened the door to a new Christian continent. 

Within these pages you will find not only the story of the Church’s early missionary efforts but also an analysis of why they succeeded: providing you valuable lessons for re-evangelizing a modern West that has slipped into a new and insidious form of paganism.

Read Converts and Kingdoms today to be inspired by the convert-makers of the past, and to learn from them how to win the world anew for Christ.

    Learn about the history of the Bible and the Church’s important role in preserving it.

Are Catholics anti-Bible?

Who compiled the biblical text?

Who organized the text?

How was the Bible preserved?

What role does the Bible play in the Catholic Faith?

In Where We Got the Bible, Bishop Henry G. Graham explains how the Catholic Church compiled the sacred text, how medieval monks preserved it, and how Catholic scholars first gave Christians the Bible in their own languages. Along the way, Graham refutes myths about Catholic opposition to Scripture.

To his lively history of the Bible is added his conversion story, From the Kirk to the Catholic Church. Brought up a Calvinist in Scotland, Graham became a minister but found himself irresistibly drawn to the Catholic Faith, eventually becoming a bishop.

    Questions relating to salvation -- especially faith versus works, but also penance, purgatory, indulgences, and free cooperation with God's grace -- have been sore points in the dialogue between Catholics and Protestants.

Jimmy Akin knows and respects the Protestant tradition in which he was raised and the Catholicism he has come to embrace. He is not about to falsify either, or to pretend that crucial differences do not exist. But he is also unwilling to allow theological slogans (such as "faith alone") to distract us from significant points of agreement. His method is to follow Scripture and Tradition wherever they lead -- and he is formidably equipped for the task -- with honesty, clarity of mind, and an abundance of logical skill.

The Salvation Controversy is a serious work by a serious and supremely-gifted defender of the faith on a topic of central concern for everyone. If it elicits the response it deserves, then all of us, whatever our confessional commitments, will at least be clearer about what really does divide us.

And what does not.
