Sharing the Gospel with a Catholic Friend (Paperback) by Richard Baxter

Point your Catholic friends to Jesus with love and care

“When someone says “I’m Catholic”, they aren’t necessarily telling you much about what they believe.”

With nearly 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide, they are as diverse as the rest of us. Perhaps your Catholic friend is a Confused Connor who thinks good works will save him or a Born-Again Bobby who is truly trusting in Jesus. Perhaps she’s an Indifferent Ingrid who merely ticks “Catholic” on the census form, or else a Doctrinal Danny who really knows his theology. How can you engage with each friend as an individual?

Packed with useful things to consider and ideas for opening up conversations that focus on Jesus rather than debates, Sharing the Gospel with a Catholic Friend will equip you do just that.

Ideal for:

Sharing with Catholic friends
Giving out at evangelistic events
Those looking for a pastorally sensitive approach

Richard Baxter

Richard has served as Pastor for Outreach at Carey Baptist Church, Reading since January 2018. He loves to point others to Christ, and encourage and equip believers to do this, and is amazed that a church pays him to do so!

Richard grew up in Epsom, Surrey, and in pre-google days had no idea that he had a more famous namesake. After growing up believing in God and going to church, he first trusted Christ during his first year at university in Aberystwyth. A few years later, Richard met Dorcas in that same wonderful seaside town. Richard and Dorcas love finding out new facts about dinosaurs, Lego, and unicorns from their three young children.

Clear and Charitable

I went into this book a little skeptical. I'm often disheartened by how protestants dismiss Catholics as "not being Christians" without any nuance in the matter. Richard Baxter, however, is quite clear from the outset that he believes there are those in the Catholic Church that are saved through grace by faith, though acknowledges that the Catholic Church is likely not the best place to grow in that true faith. His exploration of Catholic doctrines through the lens of different kinds of Catholics you might encounter is a really helpful framework for sharing the gospel with Catholics...and truly with anyone you might meet!
