The Cross and the Beatitudes by Fulton J. Sheen

4.0

Excellent spiritual reading.
Fulton Sheen is a paragon of quotability, and sentence after sentence of his writings could easily be put on a poster or the back of a t-shirt. So though this is a short book, it is not one to fly through. I found myself just pondering some of the insights and aphorisms as they came at me like an avalanche.
Connecting the Beatitudes to Christ's words on the cross is a remarkably fruitful approach, and the book is replete with Sheen's characteristic rousing call to evangelization. Definitely a book I will be returning to.
