Reviews

Frank Sheed never composed an incoherent sentence. He proved so capable an apologist because he was such a clear writer. Through his crystalline words the reader sees the Catholic Faith as a whole and as something not just true but desirable. I return to Sheed again and again. I might think of one or two who were his equal in apologetics. I can think of no one who was his superior.
-- Karl Keating, Author, Catholicism and FundamentalismPreaching on the streets of London is a school all it's own -- the hammer and anvil that forged Frank Sheed&'s ability to explain the Catholic Faith even to the most unsophisticated listener, even in the context of verbal conflict and debate. Sheed has done what very few can--bring the lofty mysteries of God down to the simplest of ears. A must read for those who think theology is boring or over their heads. Sheed will surprise you!
