Life of Christ
by Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
Last week brought big news that Archbishop Fulton Sheen, one of my great heroes, was elevated to “Venerable.” This puts him just one step away from beatification and is a strong affirmation of his holiness and virtue.
So today, in honor of the occasion, I’m giving away perhaps his most celebrated book, Life of Christ. There are several accounts of Jesus’ life available, but many consider this the best. Mother Teresa passed out copies to each of her nuns and reportedly carried carried a copy wherever she traveled.
Here’s the description from Amazon:
Filled with compassion and brilliant scholarship, Fulton Sheen’s recounting of the Birth, Life, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Christ is as dramatic and moving as the subject Himself. He presents a passionate portrait of the God-Man, the teacher, the healer, and most of all, the Savior, whose promise has sustained humanity for two millenia. Here is the story of the greatest man that ever lived.

UPDATE:
The drawing is now closed. Congratulations to Jean P. for winning this week! Check your e-mail for instructions on receiving the book. If you don’t see an e-mail from me, check your spam box—apparently e-mails with “giveaway” in the title are prone to end up there.
