Catholic-ometer: 5 of 5
Enjoyability: 5 of 5
What can I say? For faithfulness in the face of adversity, Archbishop Sheen is a favorite. I suspect all this praise may have embarrassed him a little bit, but it's certainly well-deserved. This book is relatively short; just under one hundred and fifty pages, without much text. I was able to finish it in two days, but it contains many good quotes, and some excellent photos of the archbisop receiving honors and working with those who needed his help. Any danger of sliding into celebrity-worship is handily dispelled by the archbishop's magnificent wisdom, found in the quotes in these pages.
The back cover puts stress on the wrong things; seeming to focus more on cultural diversity that the truthfulness, wisdom and faith that the good archbishop really stood for. Still, it's a small enough thing that even I'm not bothered by it, and it's worth it, for everything else that this book contains.
