Spiritual Legacy of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Fulton J. Sheen won the Primetime Emmy Award for Most Outstanding Television Personality in 1952, beating major stars like Lucille Ball, Edward R. Murrow, Frank Sinatra, and Milton Berle. Around 20 million people watched his popular TV show, Life Is Worth Living. Billy Graham called him “the great communicator.”

Despite his fame and talent as a speaker, Sheen saw himself first as a priest dedicated to bringing people closer to Christ.

As his canonization cause moves forward, his influence continues worldwide through his 73 bestselling books, decades of radio and television programs, and many articles that still inspire people to convert to the Catholic faith.

This book shares powerful stories of Sheen’s ability to understand people deeply, guide those who had drifted away from faith, and lead even non-Catholics to Christ—sometimes in just one conversation. He was known for speaking the truth clearly but always with kindness and compassion.

Through Sheen’s example, readers can learn practical ways to grow in holiness, deepen their relationship with Christ, and better understand their Catholic faith. Fr. Charles P. Connor presents ten key lessons from Sheen’s life that offer guidance for stronger faith, deeper prayer, and more courageous Christian living, including overcoming temptation through God’s grace, finding peace and freedom through Confession, turning suffering into spiritual growth, growing closer to Christ in the Eucharist, and strengthening marriage or one’s vocation with lasting moral wisdom.

Sheen’s life strongly opposed indifference, Communism, and moral compromise. His devotion to the Eucharist, his love for Mary, and his clear, bold preaching of the Gospel continue to inspire millions.

More than just a gifted speaker, Archbishop Sheen was a faithful shepherd who worked tirelessly to lead souls to Christ.
