This autobiography of the eloquent spokesman for Catholicism, completed shortly before his death, has enjoyed widespread sales and tremendous critical ovations in its hardcover edition. Now in paperback, many more readers will welcome the only first person account of Fulton J. Sheen: extraordinary priest, author of some sixty books, pastor of a radio and televison congregation numbering thirty million, and surely the most loved and celebrated Catholic prelate of this century. Here, in Sheen's own words, are reflections from his childhood, his years in seminary, his academic career, his extensive travels, his media stardom, and more. A wealth of anecdotes enriches this wide-ranging memoir -- stories from his experiences as orator and preacher, from his papal audiences, from Vatican Council II. The text is enhanced by a wonderful assortment of photographs that capture the flavor and spirit of Sheen's extraordinary life. There is also a complete chronology as well as a bibliography of the vast canon of Fulton J. Sheen's work.
