Tired of the blasphemous, outrages tirades from atheistic authors? Tired of lies said about Christianity and our Lord Jesus Christ? Have you read some of these atheistic works and would like to read the counter position? Are you an amateur apologist who enjoys evangelizing? If you have answered yes to these questions, please consider this excellent recourse. Every apologist should have a copy of "Greater Than You Think" readily available on their bookshelves.
Product Description"Greater Than You Think" is available for sale on Amazon.com.
The recent runaway bestsellers God Is Not Great and The God Delusion have left Christians feeling defensive but not necessarily equipped to refute the accusations of nonbelievers. The bestsellers have also provoked those who are the fence about whether God exists, and if so, whether He's good. In his trademark elegant prose, Father Williams provides accessible but intellectually rich answers for both groups. Questions include "Isn't religion just another name for superstition (or magic or myth)?""If God is all-good and all-powerful, how can evil exist in the world?" and "Hasn't science disproved God's existence?" For believers and those searching for something to believe in, Father Williams offers an easy-to-use resource for building up one's own faith and igniting others'.

Hello Matthew,
My name is also Matthew. I am from Australia. I have recently felt the call to a vocation, possibly in a religious order. Like you, I believe in the older traditions of the Church and could only ever go to a seminary or religious order which offers the Latin Mass. I am trying to work out if I am called to a monastic life - in which case I am leaning towards a Benedictine monastery, perhaps the one in Clear Creek - or to be a diocesan priest here at home, where there is only 1 Latin Mass priest, and thus the need is great. My personality however, pushes me towards a monastic life and I feel I am more suited to that. What advice do you have, seeing as you have experienced the same questions?

Fr. Daniel:
Greetings on the Feast of St. Camillus de Lellis:
I am very glad to hear that your book has arrived. I hope that you enjoy it. I would be interested in reading your thoughts on it after you complete the text.
On this feast day of Blessed Dina Bélanger (pianist and consider like a little St Thérèse de Lisieux of America), it would be difficult to leave a better comment than what has been stated here:
