God of Love, Fire, and Light
A Biblical Defense of Purgatory
One of the most misunderstood teachings of the Catholic Church is also one of the most hopeful. In God of Love, Fire, and Light, Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong and I walk readers through more than 100 passages of Scripture to uncover the deep biblical roots of purgatory.
You’ll see why purgatory is not about punishment or fear — it’s about the transformative love of God that purifies and perfects us for heaven. Whether you’re Catholic, Protestant, or simply curious, this book is a clear, warm, Bible-saturated guide to a doctrine that has more to offer than most people realize.

Clement and Catholicism
Catholic Insights from 1 Clement, with the Full Text Translated by J.B. Lightfoot
What if one of the earliest Christian leaders — writing while the Apostle John was still alive — sounded unmistakably Catholic? In Clement and Catholicism, I take readers on a guided journey through the letter of Pope St. Clement of Rome, written around A.D. 96, paired with J.B. Lightfoot’s classic 1890 translation.
This is the oldest surviving Christian writing outside the New Testament. Clement’s words — long buried in dusty volumes — reflect a Church that is hierarchical, sacramental, and centered on the Eucharist. For Protestants curious about Catholicism and Catholics eager to rediscover their roots, this is the place to start.

Ignatius and Catholicism
Catholic Insights from the Seven Letters of St. Ignatius of Antioch, Translated by J.B. Lightfoot
Meet the first Christian to call the Church “Catholic” — and see why he meant it. In Ignatius and Catholicism, I lead readers through the seven powerful letters of St. Ignatius of Antioch, written on his journey to martyrdom around A.D. 107.
Within a single generation of the apostles, Ignatius describes a Church that is hierarchical, sacramental, and centered on the Eucharist. The first known use of “Catholic Church” appears in his hand. For Protestants asking honest questions and Catholics rediscovering their roots, his witness is unforgettable.
