Everyday Evangelism for Catholics: A Practical Guide to Spreading the Faith in a Contemporary World

Everyday Evangelism for Catholics answers that all-important question for Catholics with little experience in evangelism: how do I get started? In Everyday Evangelism for Catholics, Cathy Duffy shares from her wealth of experiencing a natural and easy process that anyone can use to evangelize friends and family, including:

• Why all Catholics should be involved in evangelism – it isn’t just for Protestants
• How to guide a conversation toward opportunities for evangelism
• How to ask the right questions to find out where a person is on their spiritual journey
• How to be prepared to respond to the key concerns that are likely to arise in different situations
• What a worldview is and why it matters
• How to recognize underlying worldview assumptions that shape a person’s beliefs
• How to present the Catholic faith to a Protestant who is already familiar with the Bible
• How to actively listen so you can learn what people truly think and feel
• How to pray for others and track prayers with a journal
• How and why to pray with others on the spot

Since evangelism isn’t a one-size-fits-all process, Duffy helps sort out what is likely to work best in different situations. She advocates a relational approach rather than the ability to win apologetic arguments. Anyone who loves their faith, loves others, and is willing to invest prayer and time can do this.
