�Both Paul VI and John Paul II have understood fully what evangelization is all about and have taught it with consistent clarity. But we�re not doing it. We�re not really evangelizing. This is not to put us down. As a Church, we Catholics are doing much that is good. We�re good teachers and servants. We celebrate well the mysteries of the Lord. But evangelization is not something we are very good at. With some bright and shining exceptions, we just don�t know how to do it.�

� Fr. Bob Bedard, founder of The Companions of the Cross.

�Finally, a common sense book on evangelization written by someone with extensive experience. The 7% Solution is outstanding in its simplicity, yet thorough enough to get the job done. A must read for everyone interested in evangelization, especially those tasked with setting up an outreach program to lapsed or alienated Catholics.� � John C. Leach, President, Pope John Paul II Society of Evangelists.
