This review is from: The Quotable Fulton Sheen: A Topical Compilation of the Wit, Wisdom, and Satire of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (Paperback)

This book of Archbishop Fulton Sheen's greatest quotes can provide inspiration and wise counsel to any reader of any age.

Many of his books are out of print and subsequently his works and wisdom are less accessible these days. This book saves some of his greatest thoughts, ideas and observations and delivers them in a quotation format.

This book is very readable. One can pick it up for a few moments or keep reading for an hour and not be disappointed with the time spent.

I'd love for it to be produced on an audio edition.

The Catholic Church and America are blessed and fortunate to claim this man as their citizen. May he be remembered for many centuries to come.

Fulton Sheen pray for us.

This review is from: The Quotable Fulton Sheen: A Topical Compilation of the Wit, Wisdom, and Satire of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (Paperback)

It is an odd thing to review a book of quotes. By it's nature such a book is comprised of disembodied fragments from the author's body of writings. Quotes taken out of their original context lose much of their meaning, and impact, yet this is not the case with the work of Archbishop Sheen. This book is chock full of gems, useful for reflection or reference, for prayer or to throw out at your next party. Certainly a useful took for both intellectual and spiritual development.
