Francis Joseph Sheed (1897 – 1982),an Australian-born lawyer, was a Catholic writer, publisher, and speaker. He was born in Sydney to John Sheed, a descendent of Scottish Presbyterians, and Mary Maloney, an Irish Catholic. At the insistence of their father, Frank Sheed and his brother Jack were raised Protestant. At age 16, Sheed surprised his family by declaring his decision to become a Catholic. With an understanding of Protestant attitudes toward Catholicism, Sheed took up writing and speaking on the subject of Catholic apologetics, the rational defense of Christian faith. Sheed was a lay theologian in Catholicism in the mid-20th century when there was practically no such thing. He wrote a constant stream of books touching on almost every aspect of basic theology, several of which remain in print. [Wikipedia]

Theology and Sanity is one of his most popular books and deals with the practical aspects of theology in the life of a lay Catholic believer. Part One explores the concept and philosophy of God, Part Two examines the universe and the story of humanity within it, and Part Three considers the ways in which life should be lived.
