The Quotable Fulton Sheen

Book excerpt: Published to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the death of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, this scintillating collection captures the essence of one of the greatest religious leaders of our day. Devout priest, powerful orator, and prolific writer, participant in Vatican Council II and director of the Society of the Propagation of the Faith, Fulton Sheen was internationally recognized through his radio and television ministry, his scores of books and syndicated columns, and his worldwide travel. Arranged alphabetically by topic and containing 1,300 entries on hundreds of subjects – from Absolution to Zoophilists – this comprehensive anthology exemplifies the tremendous faith, wisdom, humor, and goodness of the beloved prelate. This compilation features a Foreward by John Cardinal O'Connor and tributes by notables as Billy Graham and Malcolm Muggeridge, and is a must for every Christian library. Speakers, too, will find here a useful resource for that needed "right quote" or apt illustration. The Quotable Fulton Sheen is a one-volume treasure trove for readers of all ages.
