FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Catholic PRWire
Guerrilla Apologetics is pleased to announce its newest team member – the Internet's first virtual apologist! Visitors to www.GApologetics.com are now greeted by Kate, who demonstrates the Guerrilla Apologetics method by responding to common questions posed by pro-abortion and pro-choice advocates.
The announcement of a new apologetics breakthrough comes on the first anniversary of Guerrilla Apologetics booklets first becoming available. Since March 2004, over 1,100 Catholic and Pro-Life pocket guides have been sold.
Rather than relying on defending one's position, Guerrilla Apologetics instructs readers on how to target the flaws and weakness in an opponent's beliefs and take the offensive, rather than defensive position in discussions.
Author Paul Nowak explained the importance of taking the offensive in apologetics, emphasizing the life issues debate.
“As Sun-Tzu said in his Art of War, standing on the defensive indicates weakness whereas standing on the offensive signifies strength,” said Nowak, a staff writer for the pro-life news service LifeNews.com. “We can take a weaker position of simply refuting pro-abortion arguments with the truth, or we can exploit the weaknesses underlying the pro-abortion position, shortening the debate and making abortion advocates reconsider their own beliefs and position.”
Designed specifically for field work, the booklets are sized to fit in a pocket, purse, or backpack easily, and provides the questions and explanations to aid pro-life and Catholic apologists in their discussions with pro-abortion advocates or non-Catholics. It also features tips on how to engage in charitable and productive discussions about issues. It is also affordable, with a retail price of only $3.
Special pricing is also available for retailers, churches, religious education professionals and youth groups who order in quantity.
Both editions, Guerrilla Apologetics: A Pocket Guide for Catholics and Guerrilla Apologetics: A Pocket Guide of Pro-Life Arguments, are now available for purchase at www.GApologetics.com.
“Today's youth especially need this, particularly those interacting daily with friends with different convictions,” concluded Nowak. “Guerrilla Apologetics is not just about a new way of evangelizing, it is about seeing your own beliefs from a fresh, more confident point of view.”
Catholicism hasn't always depended on pugilism to further itself. I'm seeing an increasing number of Guerillas out here. Is casuistry our best response to the proestantized culture?
