Frank J. Sheed

Life of Christ and persons in his immediate circle outlined by an eminent Roman Catholic publisher.

Frank Sheed presents a narrative which is half auto biography, half history of the Catholic Church in the 20th century.

A couple of years ago I visited a town where I was to lecture. A young woman told me she was coming to my lecture, and then asked what it was to be about. I said “The Blessed Trinity.” She said “Oh,” and then after a distinct pause “Ah well.” In other words, if her Bishop wanted her to listen to a lecture on the Blessed Trinity, she would listen to it: she hoped, doubtless, that she would do even harder things if her Bishop called for them.

Up-to-date data and guidance on marriage, family living.

"In this classic work, Society and Sanity, Catholic thinker frank Sheed brings his brilliant mind and lucid writing style to bear on the good human society. By explaining perennial truths about human nature based on the wisdom of Catholic social ethics, Sheed's book is as pertinent today with our controversies about love, the nature of marriage, the role of government, the relationship of law and morality and of Church and State, and the duties of the citizen, as when he penned the work over a half a century ago." --from back cover.
