Description: Bishop Fulton Sheen presents a passionate portrait of the God-Man, the teacher, the healer, and most of all, the Savior, whose promise has sustained humanity for two millenia. Here is the story of the greatest man that ever lived.
Details: Fabulous reading for everyone, from the most devout Christians to those questioning God's existence. Well developed concepts that are deep,yet explained clearly by way of analogies and similies as only Fulton Sheen can. Every provocative sentence begs deep consideration and contemplation. This is absolutely essential reading for anyone with even the slightest interest in spiritual truth.
It impacts me differently each time I read it, based on my current life situation and relationships. The third time I read it, I decided to highlight the most important points for reference later. Upon finishing, I realized that I had highlighted most of the entire book!
Buy it and read it as soon as you can. Read it slowly with great contemplation and meditation, and then read it again! Share it with those you care about. For many, this book can be absolutely life changing. I can't possibly recommend this book more strongly.

Review Summary: I have waited four years for the words on these pages...
Date: 2008-07-14
Details: In 2005 I was given the inner knowing that Christ is who He said He is.
It was in a split second of an experience I cannot put into words.
My hunger was born at that moment.
As many books as I have read in the last four years, nothing, nothing, compares to this. Not even C.S. Lewis and Mere Christianity, although his comment to those who state that Christ was only a "good teacher" was one of the best comments I have ever read...of course, that is what I once said...
I can't say anymore than all the reviews here. I am ever grateful for however this book made it to my hands. It is even more amazing that I was given the ability to understand it.
Review Summary: More than worth it at twice the price

Details: Bishop Sheen's greatest work. His insight, wisdom and knowledge is found on every page. It was impossible for me to 'rush' through this lengthy book as almost every chapter demanded thoughtful reflection. His love of and for Jesus is something to be patterned after. Truly it is worth more than twice the price and will be proudly displayed on my bookshelf next to my Bible.
