What’s Jimmy Working On?

Just finished the next Inside Catholic Answers newsletter. Topics this time were a major new educational campaign on the homosexual "marriage" issue and the overwhelming response we’ve had to the Voters’ Guide for Serious Catholics.

Also just got word that I may have to go up to L.A. next week to be interviewed by the BBC on The Passion of the Christ.

At work we just got back from the press our new evangelistic pamphlet God’s Love For You. Looks great. Is designed to be an outreach to people who are not Catholic. Thus far most of our materials are written for a Catholic audience, but now we are starting to branch out into materials written for non-Catholics to help them find their way to the Church. Our materials have been helping people to do that for years, but now, by providing things directly written for non-Catholics, they should be even more effective.

Tuesday I revised a chapter from Inside Mormonism to incorporate the change in the Holy See’s policy on the invalidity of Mormon baptisms.

Monday I turned in my next "Brass Tacks" column for This Rock. The topic this time was a look at the four senses of Scripture.

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."
