Reviews

[Kasey Bujana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Amazing writer and clever sentences throughout just like C.S Lewis. A great book for someone starting to explore the faith.

[Jeff Miller · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was Frank Sheed's last book. A look at the Church and how so often we forget the fundamentals concentrating on the exterior aspects of the Church. That Christ is not the focus and that we are either in a "piety coma" or a "non-piety" coma. This book is a needed examination of conscience. So much to reflect on.
