A great man's letter to the world about the Woman he loves. What a beautiful book! I have already recommended it to several people and look forward to reading it again.
I really enjoy reading anything by Archbishop Sheen. He writes with a clarity and logic that really makes even difficult concepts easy to digest, much like his shows did. This book was no different.
As only Archbishop Sheen could do, this book ran me through the gauntlet of emotions, all while keeping my mind busy with new thoughts on The Blessed Mother.
This book is an absolutely beautiful look at the importance of the Blessed Mother. Through her example, women strive to be virtuous and good. Most inspiring!
I've loved all of the episodes of Life Is Worth Living I've seen, so I expected more of the same awesomeness from this book. I was not disappointed. Archbishop Sheen shares a series of masterful reflections on the Blessed Virgin Mary and her role in Catholic theology and Catholic life and worldview. He makes compelling arguments for the Virgin Birth being a secret until after the Resurrection and for St. Joseph's being a young man. The level is pretty highly academic, but if you chew on it, you will find his insights profound and enlivening.
Although it did not captivate me as well as Life of Christ, it was still a marvelous book about Our Lady and well written by Bishop Sheen. I am glad to own a copy to return to it again and again.
Excellent book about our Blessed Mother. She was chosen as are we all. She responded differently than most of us and it is very clear why she is the Mother of God. Self sacrifice and pure love overcome all obstacles.
This is the first Sheen book I ever read. This is what made me fall in love with Fulton Sheen. Now I want to name one of my kids Fulton, but Peter won't go for it.
This book will change your life. Beautiful reflection on love, free will, man, woman, repentance, suffering, and the importance of faith in a nation or civilization's life.
