missionseeker Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I have these friends and it is their birthday tomorrow, and I've known them since I was little but I don't know them all that well. But I've seen more of them lately and they invited me to their bday get together/dinner with a bunch of friends (today. and it was tonight) and I felt bad that I didn't have a gift. But here's the deal: they have MA in protestant theology, but are very knowledgeable (through their own research) of the Catholic church and faith. I think that with enough exposure to it, they would be perfect candidates for conversion. Today, one of them was at my workplace and we were talking about the pope and doctrine and things. He brought up transubstantiation even. I was thinking of sending them two books (they're twins, btw, very close ones). I wanted it to be ones that they have probably not read. They have read Humanae Vitae, so it definitely does not have to be easy reading. I was thinking maybe something by Chesterton or Ratzinger or Newman? I don't want it to be anyone like Scott Hahn or Jimmy Akin. SO... Anyone have suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like a really a good one. I was also looking at the God of Jesus Christ, but I really want to get two different authors. I think yours is a better one. More valuable as a resource. if they are interested in reading more they can know where to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it would give a wide array of his work. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
