Click here for full details on the exciting lineup of parish-based
"Surprised By Truth apologetics and evangelization Seminars."

Patrick Madrid is the publisher of the award-winning Envoy Magazine (www.envoymagazine.com) and is the best-selling author of such blockbuster books as "Where Is That In the Bible?," "Pope Fiction," "Search and Rescue," "Why Is That In Tradition?", and he is the editor and a contributor to the acclaimed "Surprised by Truth" multi-volume series of books.

He is a veteran apologist who has conducted hundreds of parish apologetics seminars, in English and Spanish, across the United States, Canada, and Europe, as well as in Asia, Latin America, and in the Middle East.

Patrick's books on apologetics and evangelization have garnered praise from Cardinals, bishops, priests, and many lay leaders.

Cardinal Edward Egan, Archbishop of New York says: "How do you bring a friend or relative back into the Church? First you pray. Then, you follow Patrick Madrid's advice in Search and Rescue."

Peter Kreeft, author, professor of philosophy, Boston College says: "[Search and Rescue is] Spiritually wise, morally honest, and psychologically sensitive advice about the most forgotten yet the most crucial dimension of Catholic evangelism, the personal. No tricks here, just sound, Catholic, traditional common sense. Don't evangelize without it!"

Archbishop Renato R. Martino, Apostolic Nuncio, Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations says: "Patrick Madrid's latest work, Search and Rescue, is a practical and inspiring guide to all those desiring to be faithful witnesses to the Mystery of Salvation. Its wisdom and humility offer courage and insight for the Catholic community in this age, which Pope John Paul II has called a time of the New Evangelization."
