TESTIMONIALS

“If you struggle with doubt, this is the book for you. If you are a 100% believer, it will be great to use with doubters you know. Their name is legion.” – Dr. Ronda Chervin, Professor Emerita of Philosophy, Holy Apostles College & Seminary
“The clarity that Geraghty brings to Newman’s Grammar of Assent is astounding, not only for its simplicity of description but also for its explanation of the great rift in our Christian faith that is more philosophical than it is theological. In this robust yet elegantly laid out book, Geraghty has provided an essential resource for every Catholic apologist.” Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, Co-Author with Ronda Chervin of Catholic Realism: A Framework for the Refutation of Atheism and the Evangelization of Atheists
