I did a post just last month when four of my books made this list at amazon. This is the first time I have ever seen five at one time (all four of my books for Sophia Institute Press, and The New Catholic Answer Bible: published by Our Sunday Visitor).
Thanks to all who have purchased my books. I hope sales keep up, because I don't know how I'll make it through the summer. My last book royalties check was down 17% from the previous one, due to the economy. What little non-royalty regular income I receive was cut by 57% last summer: also due to the economy. So it'll be lean, but I know God will provide, as He always does. If you frequent this blog, please consider supporting my apostolate financially. I have to make a living like anyone else, and I am doing it as a writer / apologist. I do this work for you, and I rarely ask directly for support.
Soon, I'll be putting out a lot of audio products. Please consider purchasing them, so I can keep on doing this work full-time, as I have been doing since December 2001. And as always, donations (100% tax-deductible) are welcome and much-needed.

I will definitely check into buying your Bible Proofs for Catholic Truths book. This looks very interesting.
Cool; thanks and God bless!
Congrats on the Amazon Ranking! You certainly deserve it!
Thank you kindly!
Dave, I recently discovered your site and I've purchased your e-book suite as well as a hard copy of Catholic Verses (since that was the only one at my local B&N). I'm a huge fan of yours and listening to Tim Staples on Catholic answers. I've been a cradle catholic who had a typical lapse in faith during my college years and actually recovered my zeal for Christianity through protestants who challenged me with questions I couldn't answer about my faith. Rather than accepting Protestant questions at face value, my brain got in the way and I needed to critically think it out. Through intensive studying and listening to various audio MP3s of catholic answers and debates I've come to realize the fullness and richness of the Catholic faith. I still continue to study apologetics mostly now to defend the case for a Christian God over agnosticism and atheism since most 20-30s crowd are agnostic. I would love to know if you have any material for making a good case against agnosticism in particular.
I am very excited about your audio mp3s and I will be ordering them, as I like to listen to things as I drive.
Here is a great website with a lot of audio debates:

I am also affiliated with http://siministries.org/
I am very fortunate to have a group of Orthodox catholics to study with here in Rochester, NY.
Here is another similar great site and group I've found in D.C., http://instituteofcatholicculture.org/
Which was founded by a spectacular priest, Fr. McAfee. I have never heard better audio homilies than his found at:

Perhaps you could do a blog entry on your favorite websites you follow on a regular basis. I am always looking for good RSS feeds to add to my iphone.
My email is chris77@gmail.com
And thank you again for being such an awesome disciple for Christ! You are a role model for some of us novice apologists. :D
God bless!
Hi Christopher,
Nice to meet your acquaintance. Thanks for your very kind words and for purchasing my books, I appreciate it.
You came upon apologetics in the way that many of us have: a desire to answer the questions that are asked, and to better understand our faith and to help others do so.
I would love to know if you have any material for making a good case against agnosticism in particular.

That's encouraging. We have high hopes for those: that it will bring in some additional regular income, that is badly needed. We just did the first recording last night (my son reads 'em) and it sounded fabulous. He has an excellent reading voice and style. We have to knock off nine more talks and we'll have our first set: on Mary. I think I'll be selling these for $8.95 for roughly 90 minutes of audio.

Phil's an old friend of mine. It's a great website that he has.
Thanks for the other links, too.

I don't have time to follow much of anything (wish I did). I go to Real Clear Politics a lot when I am surfing.
For theology links, most of what I check out is listed on my sidebar, near the bottom. Those would be my "favorite websites."
God bless!
