books by Sheed & Ward     books:       Where Are We Going So Fast?: Finding the Sacred in Everyday Moments15 reviews Jim Warda Sheed & Ward, 2001 What a great book! I thought "where are we going so fast?" by Jim Warda was a great book. I don't read as much as I probably should, but when I picked up this book, it was hard to put down. Jim writes with a lot of emotion, and a lot of the book was from experience in his own life. Even though there were stories of him in the book, I think every reader could connect themselves to him at one point or another. After ...             TO KNOW CHRIST JESUS19 reviews F.J. Sheed Sheed and Ward, 1962 Comment on book description I checked the web site at www.ignatius.com for this item using the ISBN 13: 9780898704198, and the description there is of a paperback book. The description below is from the Ignatius site [ ISBN: 9780898704198 Author: Frank Sheed Length: 399 pages Edition: Paperback ] I think that back in 1992 the book was published in hardcover under ISBN 10: 0898704197, but that ...             Theology for Beginners26 reviews F.J. Sheed Sheed & Ward Ltd, 1972 Best in class This is the best of class in Roman Catholic theology introductions. It provides a systematic overview providing the big-picture view one might miss short of reading the entire catechism. A good, solid, sound introduction that will be ideal for RCIA students and long-time Catholics alike. Included is a solid introduction providing the reasons to study theology and the rewards that come with ...             A right to be merry6 reviews Mary Francis Sheed & Ward, 1956 So full of joy it practically glows! What a fabulous book this is! The author is a paragon of wisdom and a gifted writer to boot. Her joyful love for God, for Saint Clare, for the life she has chosen (or been chosen for), and really, for all of frail humanity, practically bound off the page. I didn't expect to laugh out loud while reading a book of this nature, but I certainly did! Mother Mary Francis has such a wonderfully ...             The making of Europe6 reviews Christopher Dawson Sheed & Ward, 1952 The Making of the West Catholic University Press of America is coming out with the Works of Christopher Dawson. To my mind, this is one of the most important publishing events in recent memory. In addition, these works are reset and contain solid introductions by experts in the field. This is third in the series (following Progress and Religion; and Medieval Essays). The Making of Europe: An Introduction to the ...             An essay on typography,5 reviews Eric Gill Sheed & Ward, 1936 brilliant I noticed few reviews for this book, so it had to be said. At once a historical view of typography as well as universal ideals still applicable to modern design. Eric Gill was a genius, and his timeless typefaces were the only window I knew him through before I read this book. This is the sort of book that you finish and then go look for more books like it; my favorite kind.             The reed of God7 reviews Caryll Houselander Sheed & Ward, 1954 The reed of God What a wonderful book! I would highly recommend it to all who are wanting a closer relationship with Jesus and His Mother,It is a very profound book written by a convert!             Philip II6 reviews William Thomas Walsh Sheed & Ward, 1938 Scholarly, but rich and entertaining This is an excellent, and quite scholarly, book. Walsh tells the story of Spain, as well as England, France, and much of the rest of Europe, during the 16th century, not from the usual perspective of the English Protestant historians, but rather from the point of view of the Catholics of the time. The richness of detail is amazing: the author describes everything down to the clothing everyone ...             Truth and Method9 reviews Hans-Georg Gadamer Sheed & Ward Ltd, 1976 Klassisch! First, Truth and Method is a true classic. Basically, it sees Gadamer revitalise 'nonscientific' truth, i.e. the experience of truth inaccessible to method and irreducible to bare statement. The book itself does have a structure/setting that makes it difficult to get into initially (it is usefully read in tandem with a good commentary eg. Joel Weinsheimer's 'Gadamer's Hermeneutics'), but it is ...             Before I Go: Letters to Our Children About What Really Matters5 reviews Peter Kreeft Sheed & Ward, 2007 A Book That Really Matters Peter Kreeft is an outstanding philosophy professor at Boston College who has written over 40 books, most of which are excellent. Professor Kreeft is similar to G K Chesterton and C S Lewis in that he is a Christian philosopher who writes very clear and profound books that are full of wisdom. BEFORE I GO consists 162 life lessons that Kreeft has learned, and each lesson is covered in 1 to 3 ...             The way of the cross;4 reviews Caryll Houselander Sheed & Ward, 1955 Great Insight This is a reprinting of an older version that was originally published in the 1950's. This author enjoyed great popularity for her spiritual writings in the 40's and 50's. I came across this one last year but only got around to reading it this year. It has an a meditation between 4 and 8 pages per station. It also has woodcut prints by the author at the beginning of each chapter. Also each ...             Christ the Sacrament of the Encounter With God3 reviews Edward Schillebeeckx Sheed & Ward, 1987 A Theological Classic! It's nice to know that this classic work by one of the great Catholic theological minds of the 20th century is back in print. Originally published in 1960 (1963 in English), this is perhaps the best book written on sacramental theology last century. Schillebeeckx's thesis is simple: Jesus Christ is the God-Man, and salvation is only possible through a personal encounter with Christ. Christ, ...             We Give You Thanks and Praise: The Ambrosian Eucharistic Prefaces4 reviews Alan Griffiths Sheed & Ward, 2000 Great resource for more than just the Eucharist I've had my copy for a few months now and it's come in quite handy for use in the Daily Office as well. The central core of the prayers can also be used, with some editing, for a general prayer of thanksgiving outside of the Eucharistic context. Some of the phrasing is occasionally odd and, although I don't have the original Latin in front of me, I suspect a bit too literal to the original. ...             Practicing Presence: The Spirituality of Caring in Everyday Life5 reviews Kerry Walters Sheed & Ward, 2001 Not what I expected I'm a big fan of Kerry Walters's books. They're brainy without being dry or scholarly, and he always tells a good story and makes me think because he's unconventional. So when I picked up this latest one, I figured I'd be surprised. But I was more surprised than I thought I'd be. I expected a kind of practical, how-to manual. What I got was something much better, a reflection on how to care ...             The drama of atheist humanism4 reviews Henri de Lubac Sheed & Ward, 1949 Great This is the book that first got me interested in religion. It is an outstanding discussion of Comte, Marx & Nietzsche. After reading this, the reader may want to read Kung's Does God Exist? and Baum's Doctors of Modernity: Darwin, Marx & Freud.             Blessings: Transforming My Vietnam Experience4 reviews Don Yost Sheed & Ward, 1995 Touching reality, with a human twist! I couldn't put it down! The word "Vietnam" has meant little more to me than buff actors with atitude, this book changed that. It's not a blood and gore or look what America did to me, story. It's an appology and a promise to get over it. Anyone could relate this to the struggles in their own lives and learn how to turn them into something wonderful. This is so wonderfully written that I was ...             The dynamics of world history4 reviews Christopher Dawson Sheed and Ward, 1957 A 'must read' for anyone interested in Catholic history. This book is awesome! Dawson was a professor of Roman Catholic Studies at Harvard University, but don't let that scare you away thinking it will be hard to read. It is written in language that us lay people can understand and relate to in a very deep and meaningful way. Dawson is Catholic and the book will give you an incredible historical perspective through Catholicism, however it really ...             Searching for God at Ground Zero5 reviews James Martin S.J. Sheed & Ward, 2002 Heartbreaking and inspiring For the most part, Jim Martin was just like any other American on September 11th--desperate to do "something." But he had what most of us don't--a Roman collar and the knowledge that God's word would be needed the most in that place of unparallelled evil. A policeman escorts him to Ground Zero, and Father Martin is sure he has entered hell. Frightened by the carnage around him, Father Martin ...             Jesus the Rebel: Bearer of God's Peace and Justice5 reviews John Dear Sheed & Ward, 2000 A Life Changing Book I was amazed at this book, and the impact it has had on my life, and choices I have orignally made. This book tells of the Gospel of Jesus and relates it to everyday modern life, and choices we must all make. I never really understood the messages behind the gospels I read this book. This book relates the Christian message behind the death penalty, civil disobediance, belief in faith, and your ...             The Autobiography of G.K. Chesterton (First Edition)4 reviews G.K. Chesterton Sheed & Ward, 1936 Chesterton lives what he writes As always, Chesterton here weighs in with mountains of brilliant insights and poetic experiences. This is a very broad book, covering the whole range of Chesterton's interests, which spanned literature and politics and myth and orthodoxy, among other things. As I progressed from chapter to delightful chapter, I found myself chuckling now and scratching my head again and racing to jot down my ...              search for books ambrosian, atheist, autobiography, beginners, blessings, chesterton, children, dynamics, edition, encounter, eucharistic, everyday, experience, finding, history, humanism, justice, letters, matters, moments, practicing, prefaces, presence, sacrament, searching, spirituality, theology, transforming, typography, vietnam books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
