The material in this book was written "with a particular purpose, a special method, and a deliberate spirit. The purpose: to bring solace, healing and hope to hearts; truth and enlightenment to minds; goodness, strength and resolution to wills. The method: the application of eternal moral and spiritual principles to the basic problems of individual and social life today. The spirit is that of charity: love of God and love of neighbour".
With these words, Bishop Sheen explains the way he went about the composition of this timely pastoral guide to finding peace, hope and contentment in this life and eternal happiness in the life to come. Fans of Bishop Sheen will find in these pages much that will remind them of why he endeared himself to the hearts and minds of so many during his long and fruitful life and why he continues to be missed by so many even today. It is the publisher's hope that this litle book will introduce him to a whole new generation of readers hungering for the Gospel message in a package that is both palatable and practical.
Fulton J. Sheen (1895-1979) was one of the best-loved prelates of twentieth century Catholicism. A prolific writer and orator, a distinguished scholar and teacher, an influential master of the media, Bishop Sheen was one of the most effective communicators of our time. His scores of books have offered inspiration, profound thought, and penetrating analysis of Christian faith and life.
