you're painfully consc.uub or the
If
grave problems in the Church today
and wish that you could do something
about them, then (says L'Osservatore
Romano, the official newspaper of the
Vatican) here is the help you need: "a
strong, clear, noteworthy book for
those who see clearly the evils in the
Church but feel themselvesf&efensej \*
less in the face of seductive arguments
and not yet capable of refuting them."
In language that's simple yet pre-
cise, Trojan Horse in the City of God
identifies numerous errors that have
taken root in the Church and explains
the holy truths they've driven out. It
will help you to know the Faith better
and to love it more. You'll discover
how to identify those who would sub-
vert the Faith, and learn how to refute
them convincingly. No wonder this
powerful book has been endorsed at
the highest levels of the Church!
The crisis in the Church will not go
away by itself. We must pray, study,
and work to restore Herto the holiness
to which She is called.
Now is the time to begin and Trojan
Horse is the best beginning. Let this
highly-acclaimed classic showyou the
roots of the Catholic crisis and explain
the steps you can take to defend the
Faith against those who would subvert
or destroy it.
