How to Defend the Faith Without Raising Your Voice
by Austen Ivereigh


This week’s giveaway is Austen Ivereigh’s great new book How to Defend the Faith Without Raising Your Voice (Our Sunday Visitor, paperback, 144 pages). In my review I described it as “a goldmine of tips and advice on reframing several of the most contentious Catholic issues. ” Here’s what Amazon says:
 

“It is about winning friends, not arguments. It is about shedding light, not heat. It’s about reframing the argument so hearts can be opened and minds can be inspired.
 
How to Defend the Faith without Raising Your Voice is a new sort of apologetics. It is for those moments when you are thrust into the spotlight as the token Catholic whether the spotlight is simply at the office water cooler or whether it is front and center at the in-laws Thanksgiving celebration. How to Defend the Faith without Raising Your Voice gives Catholics a fresh way of explaining the Church’s teaching on contentious issues humanly, compellingly, and succinctly.”

 
And here’s my video review of the book:
