Archbishop to sign books Oct. 23

“Render Unto Caesar: Serving the Nation by Living Our Catholic Beliefs in Political Life” (Doubleday, 2008), the latest book by Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., recently ranked No. 27 on the New York Times’ Non-fiction Best Sellers list. In addition, last month The Denver Post reported it ranks No. 10 for local non-fiction best sellers.

In his newly released book, the prelate urges Catholics to live their faith more honestly and vigorously in public life. Arguing that the Catholic faith is “always personal but never private,” Archbishop Chaput asserts that the most powerful “political” act a Catholic can make is to live their faith—not just in word but in all of their choices, decisions and actions, both in public and private life.

“The time for easy Christianity is over,” writes Archbishop Chaput. “We need to be more zealous in our faith, not more discreet, clearer in our convictions, not muddier, and more Catholic, not less.”

Archbishop Chaput will hold a signing for his new book at 7 p.m. Oct. 23 at Border’s Bookstore in the Park Meadows Mall, 8401 Park Meadows Center Drive in Lone Tree. The archbishop’s last book signing drew hundreds.
