As the reader ponders these reflections, they might have to pause for a moment or two over a sentence that is full of deep meaning that stirs the heart. They will find that throughout the book, Archbishop Sheen has an easy and personable manner in expressing the clear teaching of the truths of Christ and His Church. This journey of discovery is sure to please, as Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen shares his insights, on how in each soul, ‘Calvary can become the Nursery’.
Archbishop Sheen’s dynamic personality combined with his brilliant mind, tireless pen, and eloquent voice has made him one of the best-known figures in the world.
