Talking to Roman Catholics about the gospel
One of our recent releases has quickly proven to be quite popular. Nothing in My Hand I Bring by Ray Galea is a book about understanding the differences between Catholics and Protestants. The book is quite popular because, quite frankly, we all know a Catholic or two.
Ray's book gives you the opportunity to equip the people at your church or your home group in how to handle this issue. If people won't read the book, why not run a course on the issue, teaching through one or two chapters a week? The discussion you'll generate will be invaluable (and you may even convince a few newcomers to committing themselves to regularly studying Scripture in a small group).
But don't just leave it at that. Challenge the people to put their knowledge to use. After reading the book (or being taught the content of it), we hope most people will become convinced of the need to speak the gospel to their Catholic friends. After a few weeks' break, reconvene the group to go through the evangelistic study, The God Who Saves. This study was written with the nominal Catholic in mind, and it's designed to get a Catholic person's hope off of religion, and onto Jesus and the gospel. Work through the study as a group, and then spend a week or two persuading each person why and how that person should ask a Catholic friend to go through that study with them. We've provided some leader's notes which can be downloaded for free to equip you to equip others.
These two resources—Nothing in My Hand I Bring and The God Who Saves—make a wonderful combination for your next small group study or Sunday School topic.
