Archbishop Fulton Sheen has been dead for more than two decades, but you'd never guess that from the number of his sermons and writings that are republished and anthologized every year. Into this mix, St. Andrew's Press offers something unique: a never-before-published book by Sheen. Your Life Is Worth Living: The Christian Philosophy of Life is based on a transcript of an audio narrative called "Life is Worth Living," which was also the title of Sheen's long-running inspirational television program. Here the archbishop investigates doctrinal issues (1965 was, importantly, the concluding year of the Second Vatican Council) and answers the questions of his many fans. The book, transcribed and edited by Jon Hallingstad, showcases Sheen's oratorical talents (amazingly, he recorded this using no notes at all) and demonstrates the homiletic depth that made him so popular

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was one of the leading religious figures of the 20th century and the chief spokesman of American Catholicism. Previously unpublished, this work reflects his 16 years of service as national director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith and 26 years on radio and television. It is the only work where he describes his Christian philosophy. Sheen created this compendium in 1965 in the privacy of his New York City residence at the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council. The series ran over 21 hours on 25 vinyl records. It is his response to millions of letters he received from people around the world writing him in search of truth, salvation, and spiritual guidance and was also conceived to explain his mission to evangelize the world. This book provides Sheen’s answers to life’s most profound questions and presents the Christian philosophy of life. Released solely on audiocassette for 20 years, it is now available for the first time in print.
