From the Angel's Blackboard: The Best of Fulton J. Sheen: A Centennial Celebration

by Fulton J. Sheen and Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Book Overview

In the early days of TV, millions of Americans turned on their sets to watch a sermon by a Catholic bishop. The program was called Life Is Worth Living, and it featured Fulton J. Sheen, Titular Archbishop of Newport. Bishop Sheen's messages are still relevant 40 years later. In recognition of the 100th year since his birth, a collection of Sheen's writings is being offered to those who remember and to a whole new generation.

Customer Reviews

Best of Fulton J. Sheen

I read this book in the church chapel library and was very impressed. Impressed enough to order it on-line for the benefit of others that may want to read it. Unfortunately, the seller had already given it away but forgot to remove it from her seller list. I was quite young when Bishop Fulton J. Sheen had his TV program in the 50's. My parents never missed the TV show, and as I recall, I probably didn't either. He was a very learned man. I think the world could use more TV programs like it. Even if you're not a Catholic, you will find this book very inspiring.

Treasure

Fulton J. Sheen's work is a treasure; eye-opening, insightful, timeless and prophetic. From the Angel's Blackboard helps us to understand our human condition and God's great love for his flawed creatures in making us his sons and daughters. The Angels almost certainly had a hand in this book!

Words of Inspiration

Selections from the 1950's books and television series, Life is Worth Living. Sheen addresses such topics as work, happiness, melancholy, fatigue, and death. He urges readers to seek happiness by trusting God and doing what is right, illustrating his points with anecdotes from life and literature. This is a very good compilation and worth ready.
