Summary: MORNINGS WITH DR. LAURA?
Review: I like Dr. Laura. She's a sassy Jewish radio personality who is fast becoming one of America's most trusted women.When a friend gave me a book called Mornings with Fulton Sheen, the outspoken wit and mystic wisdom of a Catholic priest who died in 1979 reads as if written by Dr. Laura! In the early days of television, probably around the time of Dr.Laura's birth, Sheen was the most renowned clergyman in America. His friend, Milton Berle, was the best known comedian. The two giften men had competing Sunday night shows - friends and rivals for the hearts and minds of America. Berle was known throughout the land as everybody's beloved Uncle Miltie. Sheen was featured on the covers of Time, Look, and Newsweek as "the greatest communicator of our time." In ten simple steps, this small, elegant book reveals Sheen's ancient, absolutely fool-proof way to become the better persons we sometimes dream we might have been - or may yet become: spend one holy hour a day in Christian meditation. Sheen scholar Beverly Coney Heirich uses a brief biblical history to show the essential difference between Christian meditation and Hindu meditation techniques such as Transcendental Meditation (TM), popularized by the Beatles at the height of their power. According to this book, many meditation methods may produce some beneficial physical and emotional results; but only Christian meditation has power to deal with the fundamental discord that is the cause of human anguish. In addition to simple steps for the beginning meditator, this book consists of Fulton J. Sheen's answers to many of life's hardest question. That's where his salty wit and pithy wisdom reminded me of Dr. Laura on issues like sex education, suicide, beautiful women, depression, virtue, self esteem, commitment, health clubs, crooked politicians, and more. Here's page 92, a page called EDUCATED GOODNESS: "Any system of education which fails to discipline the will also fails to train the character. Such teaching may succeed in making people into walking encyclopedias; it doesn't make them responsible citizens for a democracy. "Education can never make a person better unless it teaches the true purpose of mankind -- and the difficulties that must be overcome to realize that purpose. "Much education today is based on the Socratic error that ignorance of good is the cause of evil, and that all we need do to overcome evil is to give men information. "If this were so, every educated man would be a good man, but we know this is not true." Proverbs 28:2 "When the values of a nation crumble, everything crumbles, including its government; but with honest, wise, and godly leaders, there is stability." At the bottom of each page, below a Jewish Proverb, the book has a place to write "My Secret Meditation." Only 120 pages. A huge life-changer, if you care enough to try keeping a Holy Hour a day. No doubt about it.

Summary: What a wonderful gift.
Review: I recieved "Mornings with Fulton Sheen" as a gift more than a year ago. Since then I have had the opportunity to give several copies as gifts for friends. This is a wonderful daily reading guide for these uncertain and hectic times. I am not quite sure what book the reviewer from San Jose was reading, but it certainly was not this delightful and refreshing look at the wit and wisdom of Fulton Sheen. Keep writing Beverly and thank you.

Summary: Now I know why Fulton Sheen was such a popular guy!
Review: I wasn't alive when Fulton Sheen was a big star on television, but after reading this book, I can see why he was so popular with people of all faiths or none. He was a wonderful story teller and that's what this book consists of mostly. Small stories, concrete examples that teach Truth and make it stick inside the head and change the way you look at people and circumstances in your life. People of all ages and of any faith ought to have this book on their bedside table. That's where mine is, and never mind if I spill a drop of coffee on it now and then. I don't think Fulton Sheen minds and neither does Jesus.

Summary: mornings with fulton sheen
Review: Mornings with Fulton Sheen was HILARIOUS and IT HAS A GREAT striking words. I STRONGLY recommend to buy this book, It is inspiring as well as encouraging to anyone who reads it.
I have never heard about Fulton Sheen's name before, as well as his writings too. There is one short stories that I like, this book is called Mornings with Fulton Sheen. As I was reading these pages of this book "Mornings with fulton Sheen" it was about A tough man named John who is subject to sentence to die, after he murdered his wife. John doesn't like to talk to anyone in his cell room. Fulton Sheen shared his words to John. Amazingly, John turns to Fulton Sheen and begins to focus what Fulton Sheen has something to say to him.. Each pages I read is TRUE. He shares many hilarious stories and good advice. He speaks about himself, too. I can imagine, that after I read the pages of this book, I realized that all the writings speaks about ourselves, our neighbors, virtues, and most of all, OUR DEAR LORD!! I think, if you read this book, you may find a good quality of the stories and you may want to share this to your love ones. They too, will laugh..and ask for a copy of Fulton Sheen's too.
