Frank Sheed was one of the best -known Catholic writers and apologists of the 20th century. He was the founder of the Catholic publishing house of Sheed & Ward, which published some of the greatest Catholic authors of the twentieth century. His own books include To Know Christ Jesus, A Map of Life, Theology and Sanity, Society and Sanity, and Saints Are Not Sad, all published by Ignatius Press.
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!
-- Steve Ray, Author, Crossing the Tiber
