Sophia Institute Press - America's Apostle

Discover the profound spiritual journey of one of the 20th century’s most influential voices. Known as "God's microphone," Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen reached millions through his pioneering radio and television programs, such as Life Is Worth Living, captivating audiences with his trademark clarity, wit, and conviction. This commemorative volume, released in honor of his beatification, is an encounter with a shepherd for our time. While he was a celebrated public figure, the true source of his power was a hidden life of prayer centered on his faithful daily Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament. In this book, you will explore: • The Life of a Saint: Follow Sheen’s journey from a small-town boy in Illinois to a world-renowned prophetic voice for the modern world. • The Meaning of the Moment: Learn about the path to his beatification, including the miraculous healing of James Fulton Engstrom. • Sheen in His Own Words: Immerse yourself in classic reflections on the Cross, the Eucharist, the Blessed Mother, and the interior life. • A Spiritual Companion: Deepen your own prayer life with guided resources, including instructions for a Holy Hour and the history of the World Mission Rosary. Whether you are rediscovering his timeless wisdom or encountering him for the first time, America’s Apostle invites you to listen for the voice of Christ speaking through one of the Church’s greatest witnesses.
