Life of Christ is essential Catholic reading. Written by Fulton Sheen—one of America’s most charismatic Catholic leaders — it is no doubt the fruit of decades of quiet contemplation and reflection on the life of Jesus.

688 pages of insight await. The last time I was so excited about a book was Steve Ray’s commentary on St. John’s Gospel.

I’ve just read a couple of random pages, but I already get the feeling the next few months will be intensely enlightening.
