Editorial Reviews

Archbishop Fulton Sheen has been dead for more than two decades, but you'd never guess that from the number of his sermons and writings that are republished and anthologized every year. Into this mix, St. Andrew's Press offers something unique: a never-before-published book by Sheen. Your Life Is Worth Living: The Christian Philosophy of Life is based on a transcript of an audio narrative called "Life is Worth Living," which was also the title of Sheen's long-running inspirational television program. Here the archbishop investigates doctrinal issues (1965 was, importantly, the concluding year of the Second Vatican Council) and answers the questions of his many fans. The book, transcribed and edited by Jon Hallingstad, showcases Sheen's oratorical talents (amazingly, he recorded this using no notes at all) and demonstrates the homiletic depth that made him so popular.
