Anyone who likes to read should be familiar with the old saying “Never judge a book by its cover”. Well, contrary to that old maxim, I’m going to do just that. I’ve recently received the newly-published book The New Evangelization and You: Be Not Afraid by Greg Willits. I haven’t even cracked the cover, yet know it’s going to be worth reading due to the qualifications of its author.
If I were to make a list of people in the Catholic world of those would be best qualified to write a book on the New Evangelization, Greg Willits would be high on that list. Greg and his wife Jennifer have spent many years involved in various aspects of evangelization, especially using the new forms of media available over the Internet. From the Rosary Army to podcasting to That Catholic Show to broadcasting on Sirius Radio’s Catholic Channel and now running the New Evangelizers website, Greg and Jennifer have lots of experience in many aspects of the New Evangelization. In fact, Greg and Jennifer just mentioned in their most recent The Catholics Next Door podcast that they have been running the Rosary Army for 10 years. It’s obvious that the New Evangelization is a passion for them.
So, with that background, it’s clear that this is a book worth reading. Time to stop looking at the cover, and start learning about the New Evangelization from one of the masters.
