To Light a Fire on the Earth

Proclaiming the Gospel in a Secular Age

De: Bishop Robert Barron, John L. Allen Jr. - contributor

Narrado por: Adam Verner

As secularism gains influence and increasing numbers see religion as dull and backward, Robert Barron wants to illuminate how beautiful, intelligent, and relevant the Catholic faith is.

In this compelling new book - drawn from conversations with and narrated by award-winning Vatican journalist John L. Allen Jr. - Barron, founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries, proclaims in vivid language the goodness and truth of the Catholic tradition. Through Barron's smart, practical, artistic, and theological observations - as well as through personal anecdotes about everything from engaging atheists on YouTube to his days as a young die-hard baseball fan from Chicago - To Light a Fire on the Earth covers prodigious ground.

Touching on a wide range of subjects, including Jesus, prayer, science, movies, atheism, the spiritual life, the fate of the Church in modern times, beauty, art, and social media, Barron reveals why the Church matters today and how Catholics can intelligently engage a skeptical world.

Brilliantly educating

The narrator grabs your attention from the beginning to end! Great for non Catholics even non-christians and especially for Catholics!

A fire that wont consume you

I recently came into the church this last April. I can tell you that I never heard of Bishop Barron until couple weeks ago and started watching his YouTube videos and just reading the books recommended. let me tell you we are blessed to have a father like him.

Provides much hope for the future of Catholicism

Excellent piece of work that allows the reader to get into the mind of one of the most influential Catholic leaders. Bishop Baron takes an honest look at the state of Catholicism and religion in general in today’s world,and he lays out a bold strategy to represent the faith in a post-Christian age. This book is wonderfully narrated.

The Case for Catholicism

Bishop Barron staunchly defends the Catholic faith with beauty, calmness and rationalism. Highly recommended book!
