This review is from: Guide to Contentment (Paperback)

I remember my parents watching Bishop Sheen's television program "The Catholic Hour" when I was a child, which prompted me to read this book as an adult. I was not disappointed! This is not a book about being Catholic, but rather an insightful, philosophical piece of literature that reminds us that "love, anxiety, beauty, meditation, honesty, freedom, compulsion, self-pity, success, failure, health, joy, marriage, sex, faith, and adventure are some aspects of the human condition and the human soul." Bishop Sheen explores these subjects in an honest and forthright manner. This is a book that anyone searching for contentment, as well as the meaning of life, should read!
