An ABSOLUTE MUST READ,
This review is from: Theology for Beginners (Paperback)
I cannot give any book higher regard than I do "Theology for Beginners" by F. Sheed. I felt my spirit tingling with joy as I read this book, and found it as much a page-turner as ANY book, fiction or otherwise, I have ever read.Mr. Sheed is one of those rare men who has an immense knowledge, yet can explain it in a way that makes it not only a pleasure to read but understandable as well. He brings to light the three most important concepts in life and theology: spirit, infinite and eternal. When reading Mr. Sheeds explanations of these concepts your view of life will likely be irrevocably changed. If you want to know God, if you think you already know God, if you want to love God, if you already profess to love God, PLEASE read this book. Whatever God-laden yeast you bring to this book it will rise 100 fold into a baker's loaf! Even if you doubt God exists, or think His existence can't be arrived at logically or by reason, read this book because you have a surprise waiting for you. Forgive my exhuberance but I LOVE THIS BOOK - you will to. :) P.S. Also read another book of Mr. Sheed's entitled "Theology and Sanity".

A book that everyone should read...,

This review is from: Theology for Beginners (Paperback)
Sheed's "Theology for Beginners" is an excellent book. It is easy to read, and explains some difficult topics of Catholicism in an easy to understand style. Even if you only plan to read one or two books on your faith, I think this should definitely be one of them.

READ THIS BOOK,
By A Customer
This review is from: Theology for Beginners (Paperback)
If you want to know God in a more profound way, this is the book to read. Sheed really delivers with his easy-to-understand, explanations about the mysteries of God, the Trinity, Mary and the Catholic faith. There were so many "lightbulbs turned on" in reading this book that I now feel immensely closer to God and more knowledgeable of His plan and His works. This book is invaluable as an introduction to Theology. I am now reading Sheed's "Theology and Sanity", which is a deeper study of the subjects found in "Theology for Beginners". "Theology for Beginners" is a MUST READ for anyone who wants to know God better.
