Life Is Still Worth Living
Rediscover Faith, Hope, and Purpose Through the Wisdom of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
In a world marked by confusion, anxiety, and uncertainty, the timeless wisdom of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen offers a clear path toward truth, hope, and lasting happiness.
Drawing inspiration from Sheen's celebrated television series Life Is Worth Living and his extensive body of writings, Allan Smith presents a practical and accessible guide to the Catholic faith for modern readers. Through reflections on God, prayer, the sacraments, morality, suffering, discipleship, and the purpose of life, this book serves as a contemporary catechism rooted in the perennial teachings of the Church.
Whether you are exploring the faith for the first time, returning after years away, or seeking to deepen your relationship with Christ, Life Is Still Worth Living provides clear answers to life's most important questions.
Filled with wisdom, encouragement, and spiritual insight, this book demonstrates why the Gospel remains as relevant today as ever and why, despite the challenges of our age, life is still worth living.
Perfect for:
- RCIA and OCIA participants
- Adult faith formation
- Parish study groups
- Catholic schools and ministries
- Personal spiritual growth
- Readers of Fulton J. Sheen
In Life Is Still Worth Living, bestselling author and broadcaster Allan Smith presents a modern catechism written not for scholars, but for wounded hearts.
Drawing from decades of radio ministry, parish missions, and deep immersion in the wisdom of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, Smith offers a pastoral companion for anyone seeking meaning in a noisy, broken world. This is not a book of quotations, but a book of counsel - practical, accessible, and rooted in timeless Catholic truth.
Through reflections on conscience, suffering, grace, the sacraments, love, and eternity, readers are gently guided back to the essentials of the faith, not as abstract doctrine, but as lifelines for everyday life.
Whether you are returning to the Church, searching for renewal, or simply longing for peace, this catechism will remind you of a truth too easily forgotten: Life is still worth living - because God has never stopped loving.
Allan Smith is a Catholic author, broadcaster, and founder of Bishop Sheen Today. For over a decade, he has shared the wisdom of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen through radio programs, parish missions, podcasts, and published works. Often referred to as the Sheen catechism guy, Smith is dedicated to helping modern souls rediscover the beauty and power of the Catholic faith.
