Catholic Answers Joins Rapidly Growing Catholic Publishing Consortium

Publisher becomes the fifth company to join consortium this year

NECEDAH, Wisc., Aug. 19 /Christian Newswire/ -- Catholic Word announced today they have taken over the distribution of titles for apologetics powerhouse Catholic Answers. This brings the number of publishers the fast growing publishing consortium has added this year to five.

Catholic Answers is the world's foremost Catholic apologetics apostolate and is dedicated to serving Christ by bringing the fullness of Catholic truth to the world. Their publishing imprint has several powerhouse authors such as Tim Staples, Jason Evert, and Mark Shea.

They have also just released the latter author's remarkable three-volume Mary, Mother of the Son, which has earned praise from Catholic luminaries such as Dr. Scott Hahn and Fr. Benedict Groeschel, CFR, who describes the work as being "a joy to Catholics and a revelation to Protestants."

"Catholic Answers has impressed me for over 15 years," says Catholic Word President Carolyn Klika. "More than ever, people are looking for answers, meaning, and direction. As the Ethiopian told Philip in the book of Acts, 'How can I [understand Scripture] unless I have someone to guide me?' Catholic Answers has guided Catholics and seekers through their speakers, radio programs, books and CDs. I believe there are many more Catholics in the Church today because of this apostolate's tireless work."

"We are proud to welcome this company as a valued new publisher member of Catholic Word."

Catholic Word is a consortium of 18 Catholic publishers and music producers who ship together to make resellers' purchasing experience more streamlined, efficient, and thus profitable.

Founded as a family business in 1997, its stated mission is to build up the Church one soul at a time through top quality Catholic books, faith formation programs, and other resources. A few of their other best-selling authors include Scripture expert Jeff Cavins, Fr. Donald Calloway, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, Fr. John Bartunek, and Dr. Christine Mugridge. The company's toll free number is 800-932-3826.
