Intellectual envangelization of brother-in-law

[David_Eckel]

I am trying to lead my lapsed little sister and her family back into an active faith. My brother-in-law, Jim, has told me that he grew up in a more restrained Catholic family than I did. This is not quite true; when he met my sister, my parents and I were renewing our faith lives, so what he saw was actually a new thing in my family.

I want to start where he is, an intellectual approach (he loves non-fiction and biographies).
Besides C.S. Lewis, who else would you recommend as an author, or what individual books would you suggest that would help him start learning about what we believe, so that he can get to the point where he can respond to G-d’s graces?

Does he like history? There is a pretty good little book written by a former Evangelical Protestant (I think) called The Four Witnesses.

I would also suggest Dr Hahn’s book - Rome Sweet Home or is it Home Sweet Rome? lololol…I can never remember until I am holding it in my hands.

G K Chesterton has some really great books. I have read two, “Orthodoxy” and one other, I know, I am getting close to sixty and sometimes things just don’t come as easily as they once did. But you can find them all at Barnes and Noble.
