About this listen
In this modern classic, Frank Sheed, renowned Catholic author and lecturer, shows us how to know Christ as he actually lived among his people. Through the lens of the Gospel, Sheed shines a light on his relationships and interrogates how and why he was seen as he was, deepening our knowledge and strengthening our faith along the way.
Justly called one of the most satisfying studies of the Gospel ever made, To Know Christ Jesus is an essential addition to any Christian's audiobook collection.

The path of following Jesus is an ancient and storied spiritual tradition. Yet many believers are not familiar with the three major forms of prayer and the three stages of spiritual growth that exist to bring them closer to God. In his most personal book yet, Brant Pitre, PhD, draws on the riches of the Bible, the words of Jesus, and the writings of mystics across the centuries to shed light on the mystery - and wonder - of the spiritual life.

With prophetic insight into our times, Benedict warns of a "radical manipulation of man" in the name of tolerance, insisting that the only "authentic counterweight to every form of intolerance" is Christ himself—and Christ crucified. A lifelong Catholic, the late pope pays tribute to some of the giant figures of Christianity who have served him through the years as guiding stars: his predecessor Pope John Paul II, the 20th-century German Jesuit martyr Alfred Delp, and the silent carpenter Joseph, his patron saint.

Decades before Vatican II called for the sanctification of the laity, St. Elizabeth of the Trinity prophetically claimed that holiness is not exclusively the domain of priests and nuns but is truly for everyone. God created the human soul to be a special channel of His grace on earth and to serve as a unique image of His love. Few saints have spoken to hearts as acutely as St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, who has helped even the busiest, weariest, and most distracted of us create an inner chamber within our souls where we can rest in God’s peace and love.

At a distance of 20 centuries, the figure of Jesus of Nazareth can seem impossibly obscure - indeed, some skeptics even question whether he existed. And yet we have an eyewitness account of his life, death, and resurrection from one of his closest companions, the sherman Simon Bar-Jonah, better known as the Apostle Peter. Peter's disciple Mark wrote down the apostle's account of the life of Jesus as he told it to the first Christians in Rome. The vivid, detailed, unadorned prose of the Gospel of Mark conveys the unmistakable immediacy of a firsthand account.

Story
The City of God is one of the most important works of Christian history and philosophy ever written. The writings of St. Augustine are as intriguing to the casual reader as it is to Christian researchers. St. Augustine's work provides insight into Western thought and the development of Western civilizations. The City of God provides the reader with an artful contrast between earthy cities and those in heaven as a representation of the eternal struggle between good and evil. The City of God was originally penned in the early 5th century as a response to the prevalent belief that Christianity was to blame for the fall of Rome. St. Augustine is known as one of the most influential Fathers of the Catholic Church. Born November 13, 354, Augustine would eventually be recognized as a Saint by the Catholic Church, the Eastern Christian Church, and the Anglican Communion.

Story
This classic work from Thomas à Kempis, author of The Imitation of Christ, is now available in English for the first time. It is a simple truth that, without the virtue of humility, we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. It simply cannot be done. Just as pride is the root and source of all sin, so is humility, the foundational virtue in which all other virtues must be grounded if they are to bear fruit. Humility is the heartbeat of the saints. It is the virtue that conforms us most closely to Christ.

Who is Allah? What does he ask of those who submit to his teachings? Pulitzer Prize-winner Jack Miles gives us a deeply probing, revelatory portrait of the world’s second largest, fastest-growing, and perhaps most tragically misunderstood religion. In doing so, Miles illuminates what is unique about Allah, his teachings, and his resolutely merciful temperament, and he thereby reveals that which is false, distorted, or simply absent from the popular conception of the heart of Islam.

Story
Most Christians are familiar with the Apostle Paul's teaching that Christ is the "Bridegroom" and the Church is the "Bride." But what does this really mean? And what would ever possess Paul to compare the death of Christ to the love of a husband for his wife? If you would have been at the Crucifixion, with Jesus hanging there dying, is that how you would have described it? How could a first-century Jew like Paul, who knew how brutal Roman crucifixions were, have ever compared the execution of Jesus to a wedding?

This book is a clarion call to all believers. We need to see the bigger picture: It is not about us but about God’s heart and God’s kingdom. God is looking for warriors who are about advancing his kingdom by storming the gates of hell and setting his sons and daughters free from the clutches of the greatest narcissist of all time.

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions

Story
Abbott used the fictional two-dimensional world of Flatland to offer pointed observations on the social hierarchy of Victorian culture. However, the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions, for which the novella is still popular amongst mathematics, physics, and computer science students. Several films have been made from the story, including a feature film in 2007 called Flatland. Other efforts have been short or experimental films, including one narrated by Dudley Moore and a short film with Martin Sheen titled Flatland: The Movie.

Mary is the flower of femininity to some, a woman of power to others. She has been seen as a paragon of obedience as well as an instrument of liberation. Some have piled her status so high that it rivals that of her Son. Other do their best to ignore her. Behind all of those images is a girl who grew up to be the mother of Christ.

You can really know Him
First, I thought the performance was good. However, because the narrator is British, he uses British pronunciations and sometimes that leaves you wondering what the word was. I have a hard copy of the book so I could easily look for the word. Sheed gives a lot of information that isn't in the Bible but is known about the time period and location. And he gives explanations as to why Jesus said something the way he did or how it relates to the Old Testament. There is a lot of information in this book. I'm glad to have an audio copy that I can listen to while I'm busy with other things.

Absolutely Fantastic
I don't know why this book is not the basis for every Christology class. It really should be. It's a brilliant book; deep, profound, enlightening. Though the gentleman reading the book needs a lot of help with his pronunciation. He mispronounced so many words it started to grate on my nerves.

Excellent meditation on Jesus but weak reading
I love Frank Sheed’s work. This sits in my shelf next to Guardini’s The Lord, Benedict’s Jesus of Nazareth and Fulton Sheen’s Life of Christ. Unfortunately, the reader here is expressionless/apathetic. And his English accent can’t hide his consistent mispronunciation of certain relatively common words.
Amazon, if you can’t find a professional to do this over, give me a ring. It’s worth doing right.

Brilliant, Limpid
As in purest water, Frank Sheed helps you to see many things, some far off, some far down (and to realize that there are unfathomable depths yet below), but a great many are nearby things you had always seen, but never really looked at — all set out in clearest prose with occasional touches of humor.
Nearly everyone has commented on certain oddities of the reader’s pronunciation, but putting that aside, I find his tone very much in keeping with the text. I had to round up from the 4.7 stars I would have liked to give.
I cannot think of anyone to whom I would not recommend this book/recording.

A wonderful read, helps you to enter into the Gospel, and know and love Christ more deeply. F.J. Sheed is great at explaining the faith in an understanding and compelling way.
