"Matt Pinto and Kathy Andes have produced a tool that will be used over and over in families, homeschools and parishes. His new Friendly Defenders Flash Cards combine sound Church doctrine with a cleverly devised way to communicate the key tenets of the Catholic faith. Combining word and picture has proven to be an effective way to communicate and retain the faith. Our family enthusiastically uses them. I highly recommend them."

Friendly Defenders are a great help in the formation of our children. They are easy to use, speak to the point, teach the doctrine of the faith, and move the heart. These cards will help our children know the questions that need to be answered, provide the answers themselves, and the Scriptural basis for those answers. What a great service to the Church and to the souls of our children.

Matthew Pinto and Kathy Andes know how to reach young people with a strong message of faith. Matthew did it with his first book, and with Kathy he’s following up with a blockbuster product in the new Friendly Defenders Catholic Flash Cards. They know the spiritual needs of Catholic youth, and they fill that need. I think Friendly Defenders cards are going to become a classic – a tool used in Catholic youth education for many years to come. I will be purchasing them for my six-year-old son.”

With “Friendly Defenders Catholic Flash Cards,” Matthew Pinto and Kathy Andes have created another hit with youth, parents and educators alike. As with Matthew's best-selling book, Did Adam & Eve Have Belly Buttons?, these flash cards play a helpful role in educating young people in the faith, while stimulating dialogue with friends, teachers and family members. As a teacher myself, I recommend Matt and Kathy's “Friendly Defenders Catholic Flash Cards” for use in parishes, Catholic schools and family settings. If you are searching for a gift for Holy Communion, Confirmation, birthday or Christmas, this is it.

Young people are looking for truth, and Matthew Pinto and Kathy Andes have a real flair for reaching them in a way that few can today. The new Friendly Defenders cards are definitely going to play a role in the re-evangelization of our Catholic youth. In a fun and friendly way, the cards offer a clear and concise presentation of the profound truths of our faith. I strongly recommend these cards to youth, teachers, and parents.

Having spent most of my life in Catholic schools and in apologetics, I am delighted to see Friendly Defenders Catholic Flash Cards make their debut. Far more than flash cards, really an interactive learning system is what we have here, presenting Catholic theology accurately and in a manner which places the latest technology at the service of the Gospel. This program is ideal for use in Catholic high schools, RCIA classes, and even for evening entertainment at home.”

The Friendly Defenders Cards are excellent. Ages 8 to 108 is absolutely correct. These attractive cards are a great way for Catholics of all ages to learn the Catholic Faith and explain it with clarity, common sense, and with Scriptural support. I look forward to using these in my own catechetical and apologetics work.

Move over grammar flash cards, there’s a new card in town. The Friendly Defenders Catholic Flash Cards will be a welcome addition to any Catholic parent or educator’s bookshelf. A great tool in the New Evangelization, these cards will equip the youthful evangelizer to actively defend their faith against the most common arguments and questions.

I just received your Friendly Defender Cards and they are terrific! I just took over our church library and plan to hold weekly contests using your cards. I will ask each child who checks out a book one of the questions and he would have to answer with what is on back of the card. He would get points for answering correctly. I would pass the questions out to the children the week before. I'm going to memorize these along with the kids. They really help quite a bit. My husband is getting his Masters in Theology, he reads a lot of religious books and he goes on and on about these cards. He's memorizing them himself. Blessings!!! Thanks for a great product.
