Fulton Sheen's Wartime Prayer Book 4 reviews
Fulton J. Sheen
Sophia Institute Press, 2003
Spiritual guide for life
This is a wonderfully concise,
spiritual guide.
I gave one to my son in Iraq,
and keep one close at hand
for my own daily battles.
It reminds me that
God will help in times where
our physical and emotional
strength is exhausted,
but our battle for human dignity
is not yet won.

Life Is Worth Living: First and Second Series7 reviews
Fulton J. Sheen
Ignatius Press, 1999
Delightfully Understated
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was perhaps the greatest orator of the twentieth century in the matters of morality and the like. His writings displayed a great inner creativity and understanding of the human mind. Archbishop Sheen never lowered himself to the heathen practices of finger-pointing, and profanity. Instead, he reinforced his beliefs with Biblical texts and comedic anecdotes of his own ...

A String of Pearls...
Maybe you are of an age that you remember when the Venerable Bishop Sheen was on the television? I am not one of those people. Maybe you know about Bishop Sheen being an "old" preacher, and maybe that concerns you? It concerned me. But under the guidance of someone I trust I purchased this book 3 years ago and read it.
It is a string of perfect pearls!
Each chapter deals with one ...

The World's First Love 9 reviews
Fulton J. Sheen
Ignatius Press, 1996
Mary and More
I was surprised that I enjoyed this book to the extremes that I did. I was equally surprised by the elegance of the writing. I know that many women will read this book and cringe at statements such as "Here is the essence of womanhood--acceptance, resignation, submission"(83). Reading this line did scare me, but if read within the context of the entire book and keeping in mind Sheen's ...

Victory Over Vice2 reviews
Fulton J. Sheen
Sophia Institute Press, 2008
An inspired classic on how to grow in virtue
This is a very positive book. As the editor's review states, it gives us the key to overcoming vice: growing in virtue. Which is more than simply turning away from vice. We have to turn away from our vices and turn toward something that is good: the virtue God wants for us, which will make us more like Him.
Anybody who sincerely wants to feel fulfilled and overcome with good the sins of ...

Way to Happiness: An Inspiring Guide to Peace, Hope and Contentment7 reviews
Fulton J. Sheen
Alba House, 1997
Wonderful, inspirational book, no matter what your faith!
I recently became a fan of Fulton Sheen after seeing an old broadcast from the 1960's. This book only enhanced my warm feelings toward this witty and hilarious archbishop. If you have never read anything by, or even heard of this man, I would definitely recommend this as a first reading. It's short, but the message within these lines speak volumes.

Took this small unimposing book with me on retreat. It set the frame of mind for the entire weekend. Twenty years after his death Fulton Sheen is still the best spiritual advisor for the Roman Catholic in America.

Characters of the Passion: Lessons on Faith and Trust4 reviews
Fulton J. Sheen
Liguori Publications, 1998
An excellent meditation--for lent or anytime
Bishop Sheen is an excellent source of wisdom, and he doesn't fail us here. In each chapter, he discusses one of the characters of the passion (Peter, Judas, Pilate, Herod, Claudia and Herodias, Barabbas and the thieves) and shows us what lessons we can draw from each of them--how what the Gospels have to say about them can change the way we live our lives. A small book, but a powerful book.

The Confessions of Saint Augustine (The Modern Library, 263.1)1 review
Augustine
Modern Library, 1949
the best english translation
Only the Pusey captures the grandeur of Augustine's poetry, the spirtual turmoil, and the depth of his thought. While the Chadwick may be more accurate in the scholarship and documentation, and Oxford's production is superior, his prose is a joke compared to Pusey's and utterly misses the variegation of Augustine's musings which the apparently more spirtually experienced Pusey captures so well.

Lift Up Your Heart: A Guide to Spiritual Peace (Triumph Classic) (Triumph Classic)5 reviews
Fulton J. Sheen
Triumph Books, 1997
Sheen's book leads to new affection for an examined life.
I came to this book prepared to be unmoved by it's overly doctrinal approach to modernity and it's trappings - psychological and otherwise. I was surprised, however, when I found myself examining my life in new and profound ways. I say profound because Fulton's reflections go to the very heart of how we live. I find myself choosing my words more carefully, living more reflectively. And what ...

The Eternal Galilean 1 review
Fulton J. Sheen
Alba House, 1997
A great book that will challenge any reader.
In this delightful book, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen attempts to accomplish one goal: to show that Jesus of Nazareth is the Word become flesh, that He is the personification of Truth, and that this Truth is perserved and proclaimed in the Catholic Church. The outline of his book is the life of Christ, but this book is not a retelling of Christ's life; rather, Sheen uses the events of Christ's ...

Mornings With Fulton Sheen: 120 Holy Hour Readings22 reviews

Meditation for Christians
What an amazing book! I'm a Christian who has used Transcendental Meditation (TM) and practiced Yoga, but I had never heard of "the ancient and powerful practice of Christian meditation." Of course I knew monks meditate, but this book encourages purely Christian meditation for all Christians, and explains why the difference between Eastern techniques and Christian meditation (which Fulton Sheen ...

A wonderful display of beautiful thoughts.
Bishop Fulton Sheen has written a beautiful collection of thoughts while explaining the rubrics of Christianity. He has long been recognized as eminent in his ability to teach and explain things religious. In this book he sequentially tackles issue after issue using simple analogies to make sense out of the teachings of Scripture. He also explains many hows and whys of the Catholic church. ...

Fulton J. Sheen

I love Fulton Sheen, his book has helped turn my life around
I read Fulton Sheen's book a couple of years ago. While rereading it, many things come back to me which have pointed my life away from depending on the material, the immoral and the un-helpful ways of finding peace in friends and psychiatrists who have just about tried to separate me from the true faith Catholicism and to separate me from Jesus Christ. I find it quite interesting that the chapter ...
