On Good Friday, 1979, a television crew visited St. Agnes Church in New York to tape a news piece. They were so enthralled by the speaker, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, they taped his entire talk. This long lost tape has now been found and digitally remastered. It is titled "His Last Words." Bishop Sheen died later that year. This is the Bishop at his best: in a pulpit, not a TV studio. It is a new Sheen experience seen here for the first time. The Bishop's wit and wisdom transcend the years. His words remain a masterpiece of sacred prose and poetry.
Here are excerpts remastered from many of Fulton J. Sheen's Emmy Award Winning Television Programs titled, "Life is Worth Living." Two volumes on one DVD.
Set includes Beyond The Next Mountain and Candle In The Dark.
