God's World

God and the world explained!

In the 1950's, Fulton J. Sheen was one of the most popular television personalities in America, captivating millions of prime-time viewers weekly with enlightening talks on the essentials of Christianity and the moral life.

Relying on the same wise and lucid explanations that won the hearts of so many viewers, Archbishop Sheen here demonstrates that Christianity makes good sense - even to persons who have no religious background. Indeed, argues Sheen, Christianity alone is able to explain the goodness we encounter in the universe and the evil; it alone makes sense of our impulses to love and to sacrifice and our repeated failures to do so.

Along the way, Bishop Sheen shows you (among other things) how conscience proves the existence of God, why sacrifice is the road to lasting happiness, why there must be both a heaven and a hell, and what you must do to find your proper place in God's world.

If you're not a Christian, you'll come away with a sure sense of why so many good people are. If you're already a Christian, you'll come to understand your faith better, learn to explain it to others, and grow in gratitude for God's gift of this world and the glorious role He has called you to play in it.

Audience:

• All those hoping to understand Christianity better
• Catholics seeking clear, simple ways to explain the Faith to non-Catholics
• Anyone who simply wants to make better sense of our world.

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (1895-1979) popularized Christianity with "The Catholic Hour", his weekly radio show on NBC (1930-1952), and with his top-rated ABC television series, "Life Is Worth Living," watched by millions throughout the 1950's. Archbishop Sheen wrote more than 90 books, including Peace of Soul which rose to sixth place on the New York Time's bestseller list. Equally at home with scholars and the common man, Bishop Sheen won the hearts and minds of all who came to know him.
