Definitely 5 stars book for me. Just like Keenan said, if there are limited books you can read in this life, then this book is one of them. Fulton Sheen with his skills really explains about Jesus life, relating to what His disciples have in mind while they are writing their letters, such as Peter, John, and Jude. Fulton Sheen masterpiece, making use of the language beautifully to describe the situations that Jesus faced at that time.
I especially like the part about wedding at Cana, which Fulton Sheen explains the situation, how Mother Mary has known from the beginning about the suffering and crucifixion that Jesus is going to undergone, and that by telling Jesus, "They have no wine.", Mother Mary was simply pushing her Son towards the crucifix. She is not trying to take away Jesus from suffering, unlike Satan which is trying to tempt Jesus three times not to take His cross.
