Life Is Worth Living

I recently downloaded this for my Kindle and have found it to be an absolutely delightful read. I'm too young to remember Fr. Sheen's TV show (from which these are transcripts) but now certainly would love to see some reruns. Despite the age of these transcripts they are not at all dated. Also, for those who may be turned off because of Sheen's religion (He's a Catholic) please do not be. His shows were very popular to people of all faiths and after reading this I can see why. His topics aren't at all dogmatic and are very well reasoned and even entertaining. Also, given the state of things today and knowing that these were written many decades ago some of it is quite prophetic.

Book that mirrors his popular tv show. A must have for any Christian. Even though this program existed decades ago, the words are very relevant for our times and are almost prophetic. Easy quick read that you will be coming back to read again. This is also sprinkled with small jokes and antidotes. Word of Warning: Fulton Sheen's words/ teaching can be addictive! You will want more, to hear, to read, to learn from this great man of God. Quality paperback in cover and paper.

This is a compilation of many of Bishop Fulton Sheen’s top rated shows. His wit and humor and knowledge of history and how things work com3 together with our Lord’s teachings and the teachings of the church. Excellent and helpful for pilgrims like me on a journey.

I never saw most of his TV shows, but I have truly enjoyed every chapter in this book. The sections on anxiety and depression alone are worth reading this entire book. He was clearly an intelligent and well read individual who had so much to offer in his teachings. His writings are still relevant.

Great Catholic book

Although dated using archaic language, Bishop Sheen nevertheless tries to reconcile our lives according to His terms. The reading is a bit challenging but it is interesting.

When I was a junior in high school, I was a bellhop in a local hotel. Sunday afternoons were sometimes without a single 'front,' so I got to watch one of the only televisions in town. I watched and listened to Bishop Sheen's "Life is Worth Living" on many of those afternoons. His thoughts and presentations were riveting to me. When I got my Kindle and discovered his book was available as an ebook, I ordered and read it. His teachings and presentations are just as riveting today when I am 75 years old as they were in my mid-teens. And that is not hyperventilating sentimentality. Sheen was a real teacher of timeless truths and attitudes then, and he is now. I will be reading it again.

The wisdom of this book is appropriate for all who have ever wondered "why am I here?" It addresses so many aspects of life in easily digestible chunks and in such a sensible fashion that anyone can understand. Bishop Sheen inserts little tidbits of wit amidst the wisdom which makes this an enjoyable read as well as fitting to today's circumstances. Highly recommend.

very readable as these are his speeches. his lessons are so profound that i take awhile to fully come around to them! love his take on world affairs and dangerous ideologies too - he explains exactly why they are poisonous. needed this!

Words of wisdom by our Venerable Sheen, amazed!

Abook well worth reading .
