Fulton J. Sheen - A Man for All Media

Product Description

Archbishop Fulton Sheen is considered by many to be the most influential Catholic of the 20th century in America. Millions of people watched his incredibly popular weekly television series, 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 this great man. 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 many converts include numerous famous people like Henry Ford II and Clare Booth Luce. Sheen wrote 64 books, thousands of newspaper columns, and received up to 15,000 letters per day. Sheen’s popularity remains strong and is growing as his cause for Beatification will be opened in Rome. This volume is a glowing tribute to the most renowned American churchman of the 20th century, a great evangelist of the electronic age.
