In Counterfeit Christs, the author looks at eighteen phony versions of Jesus that we encounter today. Some are the creation of non-Christians: like skeptics who dismiss Jesus as a fictional composite of ancient myths, secular humanists who think he was just a Nice Man, or adherents of other religions who claim him as a prophet or guru in their own tradition. Others stem from Christian or quasi-Christian theology gone so far wrong that its founder is no longer recognizable. Think of the greed-affirming Jesus of prosperity gospel preachers or the sects that strip Christ of his divinity. And of course there are enthusiasts for ideological causes who make him a model Marxist (or Democrat or Republican), or enlist him as a convenient spokesman for tolerance of the thing they want to do or promote. In all these examples and more, the authentic Jesus of Scripture and Tradition is obscured by a pale imitator, and so is the saving power of his wisdom and grace

Not sure how to defend pre-born life? Whatever the reason for this fear, it causes many of us to pass up opportunities to speak out on behalf of the unborn.

Then he demonstrates--with vivid personal examples from his years of campus activism, how to be charitable, he offers real-life examples on what to say, and what not to say. We must be not just warriors for the pro-life cause, he says, but ambassadors for it. Read Persuasive Pro-Life- 2nd Edition today, and never again be afraid to speak up for the precious and fundamental right to life.

"God helps those who help themselves." - The Bible? "Preach the gospel always; when necessary, use words." - St. Francis of Assisi? Sayings like these are such a part of modern pious tradition that we assume they come from the Bible, the mouths of saints, or the pens of famous Christian writers. In What the Saints Never Said, apologist Trent Horn takes over forty of these well-known but dubious sayings and attempts to track them to their true source. In so doing he finds some that are close to what was really said, many that were mis-attributed or twisted beyond their original meaning, and more than a few that were just plain made up! Trent Horn sets the record straight,

"What if the voice of your deepest doubts and difficulties about Catholicism rose up in the form of a human being and challenged you to a defend your most foundational beliefs? That's the task Trent faces in Devil’s Advocate: a dialogue with his own best objections against the faith he professes and defends. In this engaging series of conversations with his anti-Catholic alter-ego, Trent battles challenges on topics such as: God: You can’t believe that God is a person when most philosophers say that--at best--God is just a force. The problem of evil won’t allow it! The Resurrection: Why say that Jesus truly rose from the dead when simpler explanations suffice? Why believe in this miraculous story but reject those in other religions? Abortion: Would you really tell a pregnant woman she must keep the baby even if doing so will kill both of them? The Bible vs. the Pope: Doesn't it make more sense to put your faith in the unchanging word of God over Catholic leaders who keep making new teachings? Hell: How can you believe that God tortures people in hell forever? What if it were your own child? The voice of doubt does not mess around--not for Trent, and maybe not for you, either. But in Devil’s Advocate, you’ll find that there's a better option than ignoring those doubts you can't quite beat. You have what it takes to face them . . . and Trent will show you how." -- Back cover

Pope Leo XIII wrote of the "harvest of misery" that socialism brings. Plu XI said it's impossible to be a good Catholic and a good socialist. John Paul II spent his papacy combating socialism's dehumanizing statism. Yet somehow this long-descredited economic philosophy is making a comeback, not only on college campuses and political talk shows but among sincere Catholics. Some think it could be the answer to greed and globalism. Some even argue that it's the best way obey Christ's command to help the poor. Let's give socialism a fresh chance, they say. A democratic socialism this time, friendly to religion and ordered to the common good, as the Church says the economy should be. In Can a Catholic be a socialist?, Trent Horn and Catherine R. Pakaluk refute this tempting but false notion. Drawing on Scripture, history, Catholic social teaching, and basic economic reality, they show beyond a doubt that Catholicism and socialism are utterly incompatible. --back cover
