We also celebrated the 10th anniversary of Legacy
publishing my first book, Christian Fatherhood. Jim Burnham and I wrote page 13
this book in response to the critical need to equip fathers to be loving leaders
in the home. Christian Fatherhood is one of the very few contemporary
books written specifically to and for dads, and we’ve received numerous
testimonies over the years of its impact on fathers and families. What is
Justification?
Our new 10th anniversary edition of Christian Fatherhood contains page 21
a decade’s worth of updated statistics, stories, and quotations. We also
published this new edition as a hardback, since we’ve found that many of
our fatherhood resources are given to dads as gifts on birthdays and other
holidays, and men judge a book by its perceived value.
One of the foundational purposes of the Family Life Center is to strengthen
marriages. In response to the growing need, we’ve expanded our list of
marital and pre-marital resources in this catalog. I’ve strategically focused
my energies on the pre-marital years as the point where I could offer the
greatest assistance. This is the reason for my writing The ABCs of Choosing
a Good Wife and The ABCs of Choosing a Good Husband.
There are few people more excited than myself that Pope Benedict XVI
declared the Year of St. Paul. I’ve been studying St. Paul for over thirty years,
and am convinced he is one of the most significant figures in the history of
the world. There are easy ways for families to begin studying St. Paul in the
home. To help you get started I recommend my new CD and Study Guide:
A Survey of the Life and Writings of St. Paul.
I taught a Bible study on Romans to a group of teenagers and their parents
this year. The Catholic teens brought their Protestant friends to the study
– and the Protestant teens came back week after week! My new series What
is Justification? may be the most significant project I’ve done all year.
As you browse the many family, faith and apologetics
resources in this catalog, I hope that you educate
yourself and then pass them along to friends, family
members, and co-workers. The Catholic faith is too
good to keep bottled up. Share it.
Yours in His Majesty’s Service,

Evangelicals who are qualified experts in areas such as marital
