....Greg Willits' The New Evangelization and You provides the instruction amid autobiography, anecdotes and witness from evangelizers, written in a you-can-do-this style. That last point is important, particularly as people in the pews take to heart the need for they themselves to be the evangelizers. To their response of, I can't do that, Willits, a former resident of Conyers and now director of evangelization and family life for the Archdiocese of Denver, can say, Yes, you can! and then demonstrate how.A radio talk show host and a blogger, his ability to speak to readers, i.e., potential evangelizers, is evident in how he defines the new evangelization: renewed spiritual devotion and catechesis, knowing Christ and understanding Christianity and Catholicism; and living the faith; and sharing it with others. A nice touch is that a prayer concludes each chapter, e.g., A Prayer to Get to Know God Better, Prayer for Inspiration, etc.--Brian T. Olszewski, Catholic News Service

Olszewski, Catholic News Service This guide book is intended for any Catholic interested in becoming a highly effective evangelist by showing how a life of faith is one of witness. It is for everyday Catholics and is stuffed with ideas for developing an evangelistic sensibility; something that does not always come easy to cradle Catholics. It has a verve that clearly draws from the teachings of Christ as interpreted by Pope John Paul II. It has frequent vignettes and loads of lists. The centerpiece is Chapter 10, which is designed with fifty-two ways to know and fifty-two ways to share one's faith. Each chapter ends with questions and a prayer to encourage deeper reflection for the individual or study groups. It seems like a really great tool for youth ministry with high school or college students, as well as for adults in a parish setting. It is highly recommended for parish, school, college, and seminary libraries.--Darren G.
