| | Description | These are " Sheen Gems" - Excerpts re-mastered from many of Fulton J. Sheen’s Emmy Award Winning Television Programs titled, "Life is Worth Living." Sheen’s presence and sense of drama have crossed time and distance. His words of wit and wisdom transcend the years. His eloquence portrays the sacred truth that in every human heart there is a struggle known only to the soul and God. Actor Martin Sheen chose his name from Bishop Sheen. Pope John Paul II used Sheen's tapes to practice English. Dr. Robert Schuller writes, "he was the first Evangelist from whom we all learned." Rev. Billy Graham calls Sheen "the greatest communicator of the 20th century." "We may not be able to meet in the same pew but we can all meet together on our knees in prayer." The Vatican's Congregation for the Causes of Saints has approved the Petition from the Diocese of Peoria to open the canonization Cause for Fulton John Sheen. "Christ is longing to change your life in ways more wondrous than your dreams can imagine." "Bye Now and God Love You." -Fulton John Sheen 1895-1979 Two volumes on one DVD. Color and B&W | |

 Save your money on THIS DVD. Feb 01, 2010
I agree with the others who rated this DVD poorly. Whoever did the editing of this DVD did a horrible job of frustrating the viewers by cutting off Bishop Sheen right when he was getting to the point of his topic, sometimes in the middle of a thought or sentence. I was very disappointed. I will search for another DVD of the great Bishop Sheen and I will do a better job of reading reviews in the future.

I'd advise everyone to purchase this video along with others in the Bishop Sheen series.

Bishop Sheen ROCKS! But this DVD? Not so much... Nov 10, 2008
Bishop Sheen is awesome, as always, but this DVD is about 40% Bishop Sheen and 60% cheezy panoramic shots of beaches, mountains and rivers that you have to watch every 5 minutes while listening to the Narrator try to poetically compare Bishop Sheen's performance to roses blooming next to a calm stream in the spring time.
The strange montages of bad poetry and shots of people walking on the beach gave me that suffocating feeling I used to get in highschool when we were forced to watch an outdated human anatomy video from the 1970s!
I'd usually say its the thought that counts but....not when it costs me $19.99!!!
I highly recommend ALL of Bishop Sheen's programs in their full length, but not this DVD.

Sheen Gem does not shine Feb 08, 2008
Bishop Sheen was a thinking man's thinking man. I only wish more people today thought as he thought and would speak out as he spoke out. No greater gift could be given a teenager or adult than a compilation of the best (and often funniest) Sheen had to offer. Sadly, this is not the case here. Instead, the viewer is presented tantalizing snippets of Bishop Sheen's brilliance, but just as the viewer is drawn into his story, the scene is harshly cut to an unrelated episode. And so it continues endlessly throughout this video, jumping from one clip to another. In the end I found my myself worrying more about when the cut was coming, rather than enjoying the content of the scene. The best service the producers could perform would be to repackage this product as as boxed set and present each episode in its full and unedited form. It would be worth the added price.

Sheen Gems Oct 15, 2007
Fulton Sheen was a great Christian but the Gems cut off so much of the true meaning of his speeches by cutting them off partway. One cannot get the full picture unless hearing the entire speeches. The Gems did include one full length speech in two parts for the last speech he made. This is how the entire DVD should have been made. I was disappointed to only get 10 min. of a 30 min. session, then to go to the next 30 min. segment and get 10 min. again.... This made the DVD and his message disappointing...
I would order his full lenghth features only, from now on.....
