The E Word Michael Marchand

When you take a look at your parish, would you say that the primary purpose of it is to evangelize? It should be. When you look at the lives of most Catholics you know, would you say that they exist to evangelize? It should be. Pope Paul VI explained that the Church "exists in order to evangelize" (EN). Evangelization is the primary reason for her existence! It's not just one the things that the Church should do, it is THE thing she MUST do. In this short, easy to read book, we'll answer six important questions about evangelization: 1. What is evangelization? 2. Why are we supposed to evangelize? 3. Who is called to be an evangelist? 4. Where is our mission field? 5. How do we do it? 6. What would the result be if we all took up our calling? The book is a quick read on your own, but the format would work great as the text for a workshop on evangelization or as material for small group discussion.
