“One of the smartest and most intelligent guys I know.” Radio & TV Host Dennis Miller

“Michael Coren has given us an essential, clever and stylish book of Catholic apologetics, history, and theology accessible to both the informed as well as the searching. Crack this cover and discover why Coren as well as Catholics are right. A terrific read.” Raymond Arroyo, New York Times bestselling author and host of “The World Over Live” on EWTN
“There are few Catholic writers in North America who are as appealling as Michael Coren, and when it comes to demonstrating wit on TV, he is in a league of his own.
