The available literature on the new evangelization is wide-ranging and focused on issues of ecclesial renewal. In The Truth Will Make You Free, Fr.

How was Jesus the most holy person while at the same time the least judgmental? And why don't His followers live like He lived? Let's be honest, Christians are losing the culture war. The western Church is in stark decline and our kids no longer find the message of judgement tenable in the real world. Jesus came to influence and draw-not condemn and repel.
