Rules of Engagement: How to Witness to Roman Catholics

This is an extremely short text, more of a power point presentation than a book.

For the most part the author avoids the nastier of the usual anti-Catholic stereotypes, tropes and mischaracterizations, although there is a fairly typical stereotype about Catholics being afraid to leave “Mother Church” and not being intellectual. The author also seems to assume that reading the Bible will automatically cause Catholics to realize that the teachings of their religious faith are wrong, as if the Catholic Church didn't write the Bible and isn't based on the Bible.

The general advice seems reasonable enough - don't be a jerk and invite Catholics to read the text. Fair enough, but a well-educated Catholic might use that opportunity to ask questions like “where do we find anything like John 20:21 where sins are forgiven or retained by a representative of Christ”?
