By Bishop Robert Barron
In Seeds of the Word, Bishop Robert Barron explores how God’s truth, goodness, and beauty are reflected in the culture around us — in films, books, music, and everyday life. Drawing on the early Church Fathers’ idea of “seeds of the Word” scattered throughout creation, Barron demonstrates how popular stories can serve as entry points to deeper conversations about the Gospel.
Why we recommend it:
This book is a natural complement to our Share Your Story approach. Just as your personal faith story makes the Gospel tangible, cultural stories can create bridges to evangelization. Seeds of the Word gives parish leaders, catechists, and everyday Catholics practical ways to meet people where they are, start with the stories they already love, and gently lead them toward Christ.
