John Paul II and the New Evangelization: How You Can Bring Good News to Others

To be Christians means to be missionaries, to be apostles. It is not enough to discover Christ: you must bring him to others! - John Paul II, Fourth World Youth Day

Pope John Paul II urged the church repeatedly and persistently to proclaim the gospel to all humanity. This summons to a new evangelization characterized his papacy. But what does the new evangelization mean? And who is supposed to evangelize? What is the role of the parish? Of married couples? How do we evangelize teens? And what are the ecumenical dimensions of evangelism?

In this book twenty-two authors address these and many other issues. Cardinal Avery Dulles describes the evangelical shift in the church since Vatican II; those involved in day-to-day evangelism provide practical tips for evangelizing the poor (Sr. Linda Koontz), street evangelism (Leonard Sullivan), using spiritual gifts (Peter Herbeck) and much more.

John Paul II and the New Evangelization is an inspiring and practical guide to help you answer John Paul II's call to bring the truth to a world sorely in need of Good News.
