How NOT to Share Your Faith
Mark Brumley
C
atholic apologetics is bigger than ever. It’s everywhere. As a
professional apologist, Mark Brumley sees this renaissance as
an immensely good thing—an essential part of the Church’s evangelical
mission.
But often times untrained apologists can undermine arguments
for the faith and drive people farther away from the truth. In How
NOT to Share Your Faith, Brumley describes seven of the most common
and tragic mistakes he and other apologists have made over
the years in their attempts to defend and explain the Catholic faith.
More importantly, he reveals how you can avoid these mistakes
and become far more effective at sharing your faith in a charitable
way—even if that means losing an argument from time to time.
“Mark Brumley is articulate, persuasive, balanced and sensible,
and the spirit he brings to this marvelously readable, useful
work demonstrates Catholic apologetics at its best.”
— Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.,
Archbishop of Philadelphia
Mark Brumley, a convert to Catholicism, has taught and lectured
about the faith in a wide range of forums. He is the President of
Ignatius Press.

Looking for the King EA
An Inklings Novel • David C. Downing
It is 1940, and American Tom McCord, a 23-year-old aspiring doctoral
candidate, is in England researching the historical evidence
for the legendary King Arthur. There he meets perky and intuitive
Laura Hartman, a fellow American staying with her aunt in Oxford,
and the two of them team up for an even more ambitious and dangerous
quest.
Aided by the Inklings—that illustrious circle of scholars and
writers made famous by its two most prolific members, C. S. Lewis
and J. R. R. Tolkien—Tom and Laura begin to suspect that the fabled
Spear of Destiny, the lance that pierced the side of Christ on the
cross, is hidden somewhere in England.
Weaving his fast-paced narrative with conversation based on the
works of the Inklings, author David Downing offers a vivid portrait
of Oxford and draws a welcome glimpse into the personalities and
ideas of Lewis and Tolkien, while never losing sight of his actionpacked
adventure story and its two very appealing main characters.
“For lovers of Arthurian romance and for admirers of Tolkien and
Lewis, this is indeed a dream come true!”
— Joseph Pearce, Author, Tolkien: Man and Myth

of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on

guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous
dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey

a frightening creature known as Gollum.
