Walk with God

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (1895 -1979) a well- known person, a great writer and good speaker is no stranger to millions around the world who have read his books, watched him on television or heard his recorded messages on tape, radio or CD. He has travelled the whole world through his books and many people get inspired and enlightened with his writings. I think it is not very much needed to introduce him as many of you might have read several books of his and made use of his writings in your speeches and talks. I myself had read some books of his and was much inspired and enriched with his ideas and points.
Walk with God is one of such several books that echos the thoughts and voices of Fulton. J.Sheen. When the reflections were first published in 1965 the book immediately became a best seller.

Here the author mentions about four types of persons who miss their mark in the world:

  • Some are lost through their own stupidity and thoughtlessness .
  • Some are lost through the carelessness of others .
  • Some others ; go by deliberate choice.
  • Last type are lost because they are blind to their own sinfulness and need.
    Each of these type is addressed by the Lord Jesus Christ in his parables of The Lost sheep, the Lost coin, the prodigal son and
    the elder son .
    The writing is simple yet profound and thought provoking. He uses suitable examples and related it to the present life situations . With his wisdom and calibre the book is arranged systematically with five parts:
  • Turning from the Road of Confusion.
  • Turning from the Road of Misguidance .
  • Turning from the Road of Evil Intent .
  • Turning from the Road of Conceit .
  • The way of Blessedness.
    The book takes us to gather different types of people who could have turned from their misguidance to reach the Blessedness in their lives .

It can be very helpful and supportive for one’s talk or speech. It is much helpful for reflection and meditation . The passages can be shared and the message can easily be communicated to the people. Infact, each one when reading through the book might probably find his or her image in the very parable and the situations alike. It could lead us to awareness and introspection. Indeed, the author provides us with a lot of profound wisdom and guidance to help us in our daily life.
