How To Evangelize
Consider sharing The Catholic Action Principles™
books
with family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and students. Even
people who don't ordinarily read books will accept and will read this
book. It's easy to carry and easy to understand. It is faith based
common sense. These books are a non-intrusive catalyst to create
positive conversations at home, at work and in society. Give. Wait.
Listen. Discuss. Encourage.Donate books to your local Catholic schools, CCD and CYO programs. With permission, leave books in the back of your church for your fellow parishioners. Supply books for use by Campus Ministers, Hospital Chaplains, Military Chaplains, Prison Chaplains, Nursing Home Chaplains and other Catholic counselors and outreach workers. If you own a business, being a practicing Catholic is good for business. Have books available as your free gift to interested customers, clients, patrons and patients. Be an anonymous evangelic angel. The Catholic Action Principles™ books are an inexpensive tool to spread Good News. Leave books in public places where they will be picked up. Often your books will be mindlessly discarded but sometimes, they will mindfully change a life. You may never know the stranger in physical or emotional anguish who is comforted by your gift. You may never know the teen swayed to make a good choice. You may never know the lapsed Catholic who finds reasons to return to the Church. You may never know but God will know. Have faith.

At times, your sincerity will be mocked and rejected. Your obligation is to remain calm, patient and understanding of another's religious beliefs.
