To Light a Fire on the Earth by Robert Barron
The highly anticipated follow-up to Bishop Robert Barron's hugely popular Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the FaithAs 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.
Bishop Robert Barron is the founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries and Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

Allen, Jr., is the editor of Crux, specializing in coverage of the Vatican and the Catholic Church and the author of a number of books on religion, including most recently The Global War on Christians.
