Description
Are you hesitant to discuss issues such as faith and science, homosexuality, or the Resurrection with your family, friends, and coworkers because you’re afraid you’ll say the wrong thing or forget what to say altogether?
Bestselling and award-winning author Brandon Vogt, senior content director of Bishop Robert Barron’s Word on Fire Catholic Ministries, is back with more straightforward, practical guidance for any Catholic who wants to engage confidently with today’s culture. In this second volume of What to Say and How to Say It, Vogt tackles seven more of today’s most pressing (and controversial) issues, giving you all the tools you need to be clear and convincing as you share your convictions with those around you.
You will find essential resources for speaking with clarity and confidence about the critical issues of faith you face in the world today. This book is an indispensable resource covering seven hot-button issues and pressing questions in the area of
· faith and science;
· the Resurrection;
· heaven, hell, and purgatory;
· relativism;
· Islam;
· homosexuality; and
· Mary.
Each chapter offers an overview of the topic and a clear explanation of what the Church teaches. Then you’ll learn about the most common contemporary arguments against the Church’s teachings followed by step-by-step instructions for responding intelligently and confidently.

Featured Reviews
Carol E, Reviewer
Brandon has done it again. He has brought a book that covers current topics that people either avoid discussing or discuss without the facts. In this next volume he addresses topics such as Islam, heaven, hell & purgatory,faith and science.
He follows the same format as his first volume. Explains the topic, what the Catholic Church doctrine is on the subject, presents most common arguments and how to respond. There are questions at the end as well as other sources on the topic. A plus is, you can jump around in the book, you don't have to read cover to cover.
Brandon presents the material in an easy to understand manner. It isn't in simplistic; but doesn't go into an overly academic mode where it could alienate readers. As always, Vogt is compassionate, intelligent and reasonable. Another winner!
