Episode notes
Why We're Catholic Impact Story
- Why We're Catholic became Trent Horn's favorite and most impactful book, selling over 500,000 copies.
- Many readers immediately entered RCIA after reading it, which surprised and humbled him.
Middle-Ground Apologetics Works
- A mid-level apologetic serves seekers with some education who want depth without academic density.
- The Case for Catholicism targets that audience well and pairs effectively with entry-level and theological companions.
Light Research Project On Saints
- What the Saints Never Said was a lighter, research-driven detour into fake saint quotes and trivia.
- Trent enjoyed the project but places it lower because it isn't central to evangelization goals.
