Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s ‘Life of Christ’

It seems fitting that the very first book I should review here be Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s masterpiece’s ‘Life of Christ’

I absolutely loved this one. The first time I read the book, I was stunned by the depth of the Bible. The Archbishop in easy to read & understand language, explains the many levels of the Life of Christ through verses I had heard so many times in church, but not fully appreciated until I read this.

Each subsequent time I’ve read the book, I’ve been blessed with a closer understanding and love for Christ.

In my opinion, it’s not a book not to be lent/borrowed; rather one should buy a copy for oneself and then use it as a textbook in studying the God/Man Jesus.

Almost every line of every page is highlighted or underlined in my book. Be aware though that it’s not light reading - so don’t start it unless you’ve got the time/ inclination to finish it.

Critics, Christian and Catholic alike have always given full marks to this book and I find no reason to differ. If you love Jesus and want to understand Him more, get this ASAP.
