Any Friend of God's Is a Friend of Mine - A biblical and historical explanation of the Catholic doctrine of the Communion of Saints

 General Description:

Patrick Madrid

The best ever explanation of the Catholic doctrine of the communion of saints written for a popular audience. Patrick Madrid explains in  a clear, and easy-to-follow style why Catholics pray to Mary and the saints. Using the Bible and the testimony of the early Church Fathers, he shows the biblical and historical foundations of this often misunderstood Catholic doctrine. He also walks you through the standard anti-Catholic arguments against praying to Mary and the saints and demonstrates why these arguments are themselves unbiblical.

About the Author:
Patrick Madrid is the editor of Envoy magazine, the bi-monthly journal of Catholic apologetics and evangelization, and is the editor of the best-selling book Surprised by Truth.
