In addition to his prolific writings, Sheen dominated the airwaves, first in radio, and later television, with his signature program “Life is Worth Living,” drawing an average of 30 million viewers a week in the 1950s. Sheen had the ears of everyone from presidents to the common men, women, and children in the pews, and his uplifting message of faith, hope, and love shaped generations of Catholics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere in Sheen’s own words are reflections from his childhood, his years in seminary, his academic career, his media stardom, his pastoral work, his extensive travels, and much more. Readers already familiar with Sheen and as well as those coming to him for the first time will find a fascinating glimpse into the Catholic world Sheen inhabited, and will find inspiration in Sheen’s heartfelt recollections. Treasure in Clay is a classic book and a lasting testament to a life that was worth living.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFulton Sheen's Wartime Prayer Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This prayer book is for soldiers, sailors, marines, coast guard, for all fighting forces at home and abroad - on land, on the sea, and in the air - and for civilians at home: for all who live in a world at war, that through our prayerful lives God may grant us victory and give to the world His peace and justice.\"\u003cbr\u003e-- from the Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis little pocket-sized prayer book is made up of reflections which it is hoped will provoke us to meditation and communion with God, so that we will not only speak to Him, but also listen to Him when He speaks to us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArchbishop Fulton Sheen wrote this pocket-sized prayerbook during World War II for those who were fighting and dying on battlefields afar.
