New Book:
Good News, Bad News
- Evangelization and the Crisis of Faith
link
Father C. John McCloskey’s Good News, Bad News: Evangelization, Conversion,
and the Crisis of Faith, written with Russell Shaw, is a wonderful book for anyone
seeking to share the Catholic faith, for it illustrates many reasons why non-Catholics become interested in, and
ultimately convert to Catholicism. Fr. McCloskey is a dynamic priest deeply in love with Christ and his Church
and a gifted evangelist. He is also a good listener. As David Carradini, reviewing this terrific book for Amazon.com
wrote: “Story after story illustrates that Catholic evangelization is not
about coercion, but about listening to God in prayer, listening to others, then pointing them in the right direction
based upon what God says and what they say.” McCloskey’s enthusiasm for the faith is
catching. His message is also a great challenge to Catholic laywomen and laymen, who have a glorious and indispensable
role to play in carrying out the work of evangelization in the everyday world in which they work and can bring
to others the kind of friendship made possible by Christ.
