This remarkable book presents a compelling case for Catholicism, grounded in science, scripture, and history. It features a 7-step WALLET OUTLINE available in 12 languages, enabling even those with minimal knowledge of Catholic Evangelization to share their faith without speaking. A concise 14-page SUMMARY is provided in both English and Spanish. The extensive 417-page text includes group study questions and a quick reference for apologists, empowering readers to defend authentic Catholicism against challenges from atheists and non-Catholic believers, as well as from certain clergy who misinterpret the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The author critiques foundational scriptural passages used by Luther and Calvin, highlighting Calvin's mistranslation of Lk 11:52 and clarifying that the Great Commission (Mt 28:16-20) was given solely to the 11 apostles, emphasizing Christ's intent to establish one unified Church under Peter, rather than the 33,000 denominations present today. Subsequent sections explore the origins of dissent within the Church and propose constructive responses for parishioners. The book also outlines key beliefs of various religions, including Orthodox Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and others, focusing on their incompatibilities with Catholicism. It carries the Imprimatur of Most Rev. Joseph F. Martino and endorsements from notable figures associated with EWTN.
