Many Catholics and, indeed, Christians avoid discussing religion like the plague. Controversial subjects, such as abortion and why there is suffering

can be especially difficult, but it is certainly better to feel confident about talking about these topics with people who disagree than avoiding them. Brandon Vogt shows Catholics how to defend their beliefs comprehensively and with excellent arguments.



I like his books, and I will read more of them.



I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Brandon Vogt has written a book that many people have been wanting for a long time. He helps take some of the most talked about issues of the day and put explanations and talking points into simple, easily understood language.

He covers topics such as Evil & Suffering, Atheism, Eucharist, Abortion, Transgenderism, & Same Sex Marriage, etc. The material is presented clearly & in a charitable way. He is not judgmental, but articulate, sensitive & convincing.

After discussion of each topic, he presents at the end of each chapter a list of recommended books on the subject; a list of questions; and two or three scenarios that a person may encounter when discussing that particular topic. This book is designed so you don't have to read cover to cover. You can jump around and I would suggest only reading a chapter at a time & then give time to digest the information. It would be a great book to get into the classroom at a Catholic High School or even a 'Bible' study group.

I found the book easy to understand & informative. I've been talking it up to friends and cannot recommend enough.
