Archbishop Fulton Sheen was perhaps the most influential Catholic of the 20th century in America. Millions of people watched his incredibly popular television series every week, Life is Worth Living, and millions more listened to his radio program, The Catholic Hour. Wherever he preached in public, standing-room-only crowds packed churches and halls to hear him.
This volume is a wonderful coffee-table book filled with over 125 original photos of the great archbishop from the Fulton Sheen archives. It is combined with inspiring quotes from the many popular books Sheen wrote on every kind of spiritual topic. These photos and quotes capture the joy, zeal for the faith and dramatic flair that helped him be such an effective communicator and missionary to all souls.
Sheen reached people from all walks of life, and his countless converts include many famous people like Henry Ford II, Clare Booth Luce, Heywood Broun and Louis Budenz. Sheen wrote 64 books, thousands of newspaper columns, and received up to 15,000 letters per day.
Sheen's popularity remains very strong, especially with his Beatification scheduled for September 24, 2026, in St. louis, MO. Many books by and about Sheen, and audio recording and films of Sheen, are still available and in great demand. This volume is a glowing tribute to the most renowned American churchman of the 20th century, a great evangelist of the electronic age.
