Is Fulton Sheen on your bookshelf?

In the 1950s, Fulton J. Sheen was one of the most popular television personalities in America, captivating millions of prime-time viewers weekly with enlightening talks on the essentials of Christianity and the moral life.

Many folks don’t know that Bishop Fulton Sheen also authored 73 books—several of which are in print thanks to Sophia Institute Press.

And this week, we are offering a special discount when you purchase two of Bishop Fulton Sheen’s most popular books—God’s World and Our Place in It and Victory Over Vice.  (Enter code "Victory15" at checkout).

In Victory Over Vice, Archbishop Fulton Sheen relies on the same wise and lucid explanations that won the hearts of so many viewers to show you how you can win a lasting victory over sin.

Fulton Sheen claims that all seven deadly sins led Christ’s enemies to nail Him to the Cross.  You and I can, therefore, find in the example of Christ's death and suffering a sure means to overcome each one of those sins.

Plus, we can find in the same suffering the key to understanding — and to nurturing in our own souls — each corresponding virtue.

In these pages, filled with wisdom and hope, Archbishop Sheen teaches us not only how to conquer our gluttony; he shows us how to satisfy our spiritual hunger.

He also teaches us how to attain freedom from self-love by discovering how to live a life of humility.

From Christ’s response to each of the seven deadly sins that led to His Crucifixion, Bishop Sheen draws a lesson in how you and I must deal with those same sins . . . in others and in ourselves.

Day after day, Christians struggle to do good, to avoid evil, and to take up with love the many crosses — small and large — that threaten to overwhelm and sometimes even to crush them.
 
For those of us who are still more acquainted with sin than with sanctity, Fulton Sheen offers a sure way to understand virtue better, and a remarkably effective means to attain it.

One thing is certain: if you abide by the holy counsel in these pages, enduring virtue will soon be yours. You will have achieved your own long-sought-after victory over vice.

In God’s World and Our Place in It, Archbishop Sheen clearly and succinctly articulates why Christianity makes good sense—even to persons who have no religious background.

Indeed, argues Sheen, Christianity alone is able to explain the goodness we encounter in the universe and the evil.

Christianity alone makes sense of our impulses to love and to sacrifice—and our repeated failures to do so.

Along the way, Bishop Sheen shows you…
  • How conscience proves the existence of God
     
  • Why sacrifice is the road to lasting happiness
     
  • Why there must be both a heaven and a hell, and
     
  • What you must do to find your proper place in God’s world.
If you’re not a Christian, you’ll come away with a sure sense of why so many good people are.

If you’re already a Christian, you’ll come to understand your faith better, learn to explain it to others, and grow in gratitude for God’s gift of this world and the glorious role He has called you to play in it.

This week, allow the wise and holy counsel of Archbishop Sheen to strengthen your spiritual life, and to draw you closer to God and to heaven.
