Catholic-ometer: 5 of 5
Enjoyability: 5 of 5
Yeah, I know. Another five for five, but it's Bishop Sheen we're talking about. He's mainly quoted in snippets, so you may not get the full message he was trying to deliver in some cases, but it never hurts you to read what he wrote and said.
This book gives you quotes by Bishop Sheen for each day of the year; really good quotes, and even the forward, and the endorsements on the back do nothing to take away from those quotes. Once the book gets underway, Bishop Sheen's magnificent wit and insight take over, and once again, it's a fantastic read, though perhaps not as organized as, say, "The Life of Christ." I didn't wait the whole year before finishing it, because I was eager to get at the wisdom contained herein, and that's just what I got. Daily Quotes by Bishop Sheen. You expect it, and that's just about what the whole book consists of; just as advertised.
I'm satisfied and impressed, so thumbs up for this one.
