Catholic authors, get your pens ready, pencils sharpened, and keyboards dusted. On the horizon is another “titanic” opportunity for book sales and speaking engagements.
Dan Brown’s book provided many Catholic, and other Christian, authors with a great opportunity to write some books, spread the faith, and tell the truth. His book and movie combo did wonders for Opus Dei and inquiries into their approach to the faith.
I loved all the hype and attention but frankly I became just as sick of the apologetics books as I was of the words – Da Vinci Code. No doubt, the many different books did do some good and help those of us who aren’t as well informed defend the truth of Christ and His Church. But it began to look more like a publishers dream than a real attempt to defend the Church.
I hope things are much different this time around. I also hope that those of us who won’t be in the loop will beef-up on our Resurrection (hint) apologetics because it’s looking like it might be an all out war.
So, what’s the titanic opportunity I mentioned? Read on…
Thanks to my brother-in-law for the article!
