Summary: The Best of Fulton Sheen
Review: I never knew Bishop Fulton Sheen can make a great exegesis. I always knew he was a good philosopher, but he shows why he has a S.T.L. I would recommend this to any person, any religion. It shows what Jesus' purpose was, and how Jesus is unique. This is a great study, and a great way to KNOW Jesus. This is the best book for those who love Sheen. God love you!

Summary: A must read - twice!
Review: If you want to really understand Jesus, this is the place to find the answers. Don't let the Catholicity of the book put you off, this book ties a perfect bow between the old and new testaments and is better than 90% "generic" Christian. You'll understand how not even the slightest sigh He made was unintentional. It's an insight into the mind of Jesus, and when done with this, you'll understand both Jesus the Man and Jesus the Deity better. When I finished this, I began from page one again. Bishop Sheen also has a writing style that draws you in and keeps you looking for more, mixed with a simplcity that won't lose you either in word or concept. I am now looking for more by Bishop Sheen.

Summary: The second greatest Life of Christ ever written
Review: If you've read anything by Fulton Sheen you know that he was an astonishingly talented writer. This book was probably his masterpiece. It's a life of Christ that is so beautiful, and touches the heart so deeply that I promise you that you will weep over certain chapters. Buy the hardback copy if possible becuase you will want to read this treasure again and again.

Summary: This book sums it all up truthfully, insightfully!
Review: In the pleasure and pure awe of the realizations derived from this beautiful enlightened volume on the death of Christ so that we may live, I am nearly speechless. I am almost driven as much as if I was reading the Bible itself. Bishop Sheen has simplified the explainations of the message and brought out the realizations of the cross overshadowing the stablecrib. "He came to die so that we may live."I have never felt so secure in the aquisition of news of the faith. I highly, highly recommend it . Read it again, and again, and again.

Review: Quite simply, the best and most important book I have ever read. It will provide the reader with the understanding of Christ's life, death, and resurrection. It will provide the reader with the light of knowledge and wisdom. It will provide solace to the reader seeking the Truth in the world today. Fulton Sheen must be heralded as one of the world's great modern theologians.

Summary: A great work for the life of OUR LORD
Review: The author has very skilfully integrated most of the details from the Gospels and turn them into a highly readable manner for anyone who is seeking to know Our Lord more intimately. Coming from chinese background. The author seems to have some misunderstanding about confucious. Confucionism is a physolophy and a learning and not a religion in a strict sense. Confucious last name is Yau and his other names are Chung Lei.Yau Chung Lei is his full name. During his lifetime, he never proclaims that he is God messenger or prophet or any kind.He is just a phylosopher and a teacher.The worshipiing of confucious came about when the chinese people went a step beyond honoring and respecting him into vunerating him as God like figure.

Summary: A truly remarkable work
Review: The way Bishop Sheen presents Jesus life from the beginning of time and the importance of His death is remarkable. Everything is substantiated in the Bible and is written in Jesus Christ's time line explaining everything from all the testaments. He brings His life alive and so much meaning, I feel like this book has brought me closer to knowing Jesus more than all the previous books I have read together! It is great if you already know the Bible, so you see how it Jesus fulfills the prophecies. If you haven't read much of the bible you will want to look up verses Sheen points out. I have loaned my book to many, everyone absolutely loves it!

Summary: At once profound and accessible
Review: This book more than any other demonstrates the ability of Bishop Sheen to bring heavenly concepts down to earth. Bishop Sheen reawakens the magic of those familiar gospel stories, which we learned to listen to with half a heart. I found myself reading the sections such as the "the women caught in adultery" over and over again. Each page offers an insight into the mind of Christ. This book is a novel, a theological work and above all a prayer.

Summary: Extraordinary, Heavenly concepts
Review: This is by far the best commentary on the Gospels I have read so far. His insight seems to be the Holy Spirit speaking directly to you. This book helped me to better discern my vocation, and to come to a better understand about Christ's life. His commentary comes from all the Gospels, so it is an easy way to learn about the Jesus' life without reading all four Gospels, along with the prophecies Jesus fulfilled. This is a MUST read for all Christians, especially Catholics.
