The life of Christ
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!
The life of Christ
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.
The life of Christ
If Ronald Reagan was the "great communicator," then Fulton Sheen was the "master communicator" both in speech and in written word. This book is not only for CATHOLICS, but is a marvelous recapitulation of the life of Jesus, weaving together all four Gospels into a rich tapestry of the life and love of Jesus Christ. I remember when I was seven or eight that I would sit enraptured by the Bishop's talks on radio and TV. I have recently rediscovered him, and he is no less captivating today. If you want to know the essence of Christianity or want to strengthen your faith, READ THIS BOOK!
The life of Christ
This is a thoroughly concise writing on the life of our Savior. It is smooth reading, inspirational, and even deep enough to bring a lump to my throat and an occasional tear (at the risk of coming off too emotionally). It is written with confidence and makes me feel confident that I am receiving the truth. If you want an undistorted biography, this is it. Thank you for having it available.
The life of Christ
This book is an amazing reflection on the Gospels from one of the greatest Catholic minds of the 20th century. After finishing this book, I was able to not only understand the Gospels better, but pray them better too.I found this book to be a perfect blend of spirituality, knowledge, history, and contemplative thought. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially if they are unfamiliar or have doubts concerning Christianity.
The life of Christ
This is a great book to use as a bible study, to understand Christianity in general and Catholic theology. It was easy to read, with wonderful insight about Jesus and His life and teachings. Also reviewing the old testament and the prophecies. I recommend it to anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Jesus, Christianity, History of the Bible or who just want to have a deeper understanding of our purpose.
