If you are in the mood for meditation . . .,

This review is from: Mornings With Fulton Sheen: 120 Holy Hour Readings (Hardcover)
Before the wild-eyed, garrulous and hortatory evangelists typical of today's television was Bishop Fulton Sheen (1898-1979), a Catholic priest who offered low-key but compelling commentary on the pioneering video airwaves of the 1950s. He made the covers of Time, Life, and Look (as the greatest communicator of our time); President Eisenhower proclaimed hmself a fan. Sheen, a former farm boy from Peoria, married the common touch to scholarly epiphany. And he had a sense of humor. Now comes "Mornings with Fulton Sheen:120 Holy Hour Readings" lovingly compiled by Beverly Coney Heirich (Servant Publications). A sample in the bishop's typically pellucid prose: "One day a woman said to Father John Vianney, the Cure of Ars in France, 'My husband has not been to the sacraments or to Mass for years. He has been unfaithful, wicked, and unjust. He has just fallen from a bridge and was drowned - a double death of body of soul.' The Cure answered: 'Madam, there is a short distance between the bridge and the water, and it is that distance which forbids you to judge.'" Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Putting life in perspective...,
This review is from: Mornings With Fulton Sheen: 120 Holy Hour Readings (Hardcover)
This book was a gift to me in so many ways. As a Protestant, I was amazed at the relevance Bishop Sheen's words held for my life. As a student, this book has been useful as a reference for quotes for research papers, etc. (Useful for speeches, too.) Each page holds a concise, insightful, and powerful Christian message to meditate on. When I do not have much time, I take a moment before bed or before I start my day to read one page. The book is organized so well for people who are pressed for time, and it will probably change your life for the better, as it has mine. If you want to know how God wants us to view the world, and if you need a powerful reminder of what your priorities really are, read this book!
