If you’re looking for solid Catholic answers to common Protestant challenges, but don’t have lots of time, then reach for The One-Minute Apologist.

Here renowned Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong (author of A Biblical Defense of Catholicism and The Catholic Verses) has assembled over sixty of the claims and arguments that Protestants (of all stripes) most frequently level against the Church. Drawing on a lifetime of study -- in Scripture, history, and the works of Catholic and Protestant theologians -- he delivers the essential Catholic replies to each claim, packaged for you in a compact and uniquely usable format.

And since he’s a convert from Evangelicalism, Armstrong presents these anti-Catholic claims with an insider’s accuracy -- using the special terms, references, and follow-up arguments that you’re mostly likely to hear in real-world encounters -- and responds to them in a way Protestants can understand and appreciate.

The One-Minute Apologist is concise, but never superficial. It cites or quotes more than a thousand Scripture verses, along with the words of scores of saints and scholars -- including many respected Protestant sources. Packing centuries of learning and wisdom into just a few tightly structured pages, The One-Minute Apologist decisively refutes common Protestant claims such as:

“The Bible is the only infallible source of theological truth.”

“Peter is not the ‘rock’ to which Jesus referred.”

“Celibacy for priests is unnatural and unbiblical.”

“The Catholic Mass is an abomination.”

“True Christians cannot fall away from salvation.”

“Mary had other children besides Jesus.”

“Indulgences allow Catholics to ‘indulge’ in sin.”

“Venerating the saints is a form of idolatry.”

“The Catholic ban on contraception has no scriptural basis.”

And over 50 other pervasive Protestant objections to Catholic doctrine and practice!

More accessible than thick theological tomes, more substantial than tracts, and better organized than other “quick answer” books, The One-Minute Apologist is the one source you’ll find yourself turning to whenever you have the need to defend the Catholic Faith quickly, credibly, and well.

A complete and engaging one-volume introduction to the saint known as the "Little Flower".

Following a thorough introduction to the saint's life, The Complete Therese presents her classic, The Story of a Soul, in complete and unabridged form. Then, unique to this edition is a portion of the original edition rarely seen, describing the saint's final days as seen through the eyes of the Sisters of the Lisieux Carmel; plus a poignant collection of over seventy firsthand anecdotes about Thérèse recounted by the Sisters following her death.

Also included a comprehensive selection of prayers, letters, and poems written by Therese, and in both French and English, the poem that inspired her to call herself the “Little Flower.” Further appendices give important dates for her life, taking the reader up to 1997, one hundred years after her death, when Pope John Paul II declared her to be a Doctor of the Church. Beautiful engravings and photographs throughout the book give the reader a view of the Little Flower’s childhood home and family, her growing-up years, life at Carmel, her death, and the original gravesite.

From its inception as a Christian nation over a thousand years ago, Hungary has had a fervent devotion to Mary, the Mother of God. A publication which appeared towards the end of the second millennium lists 200 Marian shrines in Hungary. There are records of Marian paintings weeping tears in Hungary as early as 1663. This book documents some of these miraculous weeping Madonnas and holy sweating. Authenticated by Church authorities and early religious tradition of Hungary, this book captures with colored illustration the mystery of Mary’s compassion with her Divine Son. Inspiring and yet informative, this book is a must addition to Catholic family libraries.
