Life Is Still Worth Living

A Modern Catechism in the Spirit of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Life does not feel simple anymore. Anxiety is common. Faith feels fragile. Many Catholics know what the Church teaches — but no longer know how to live it.

In Life Is Still Worth Living, bestselling author and broadcaster Allan Smith presents a modern catechism written not for scholars, but for wounded hearts.

Drawing from decades of radio ministry, parish missions, and deep immersion in the wisdom of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, Smith offers a pastoral companion for anyone seeking meaning in a noisy, broken world. This is not a book of quotations, but a book of counsel — practical, accessible, and rooted in timeless Catholic truth.

Through reflections on conscience, suffering, grace, the sacraments, love, and eternity, readers are gently guided back to the essentials of the faith, not as abstract doctrine, but as lifelines for everyday life.

Whether you are returning to the Church, searching for renewal, or simply longing for peace, this catechism will remind you of a truth too easily forgotten:

Life is still worth living — because God has never stopped loving.
