Free Fulton Sheen's Wartime Prayer Book Ebooks Online
A wartime prayerbook written for dangerous days like ours — made to fit in pocket or purse! Our parents before us understood that strife is rarely far from even the best of us, and they girded themselves for warfare, actual and spiritual. Among the wisest of men who shepherded them was Archbishop Fulton Sheen, who won their hearts with his warm, engaging broadcast personality . . . but in secret he put on the armor of God. World War II thrust temptation, fear, danger, and death on the men and women Archbishop Sheen had formed through his popular radio shows in the 1930’s. Knowing that many of his listeners were now beyond the sound of his voice, fighting and dying on battlefields afar, he wrote this pocket-size prayerbook so that they, too, could put on the armor of God as they faced their new trials, physical and spiritual. Recently, a friend showed us his tattered World War II copy. We recognized immediately that with the new dangers we face since September 11, the time had come to draft this old prayer book back into service. Yes, it’s for soldiers (and you should send it to every soldier you know so he will have it in his breast pocket when he needs it); but it’s for you and me, too. Archbishop Sheen knew that no matter what our circumstances may be, the deadliest enemy we face is armed not with a gun but with temptation. In dangerous, uncertain times like ours, the Devil lures us quickly into lust, anger, hatred, and despair. Fulton Sheen’s Wartime Prayer Book will help keep you from these vices so that you, too, can put on the armor of God and triumph over evil in our day.

This is a wonderfully concise,spiritual guide.I gave one to my son in Iraq,and keep one close at handfor my own daily battles.It reminds me thatGod will help in times whereour physical and emotionalstrength is exhausted,but our battle for human dignityis not yet won.
I love this little book!! :-) I carry it everywhere I go. Thinking about the short meditations and prayers throughout the day brings me a real sense of peace. Fulton Sheen put together an amazing little book for our military people and civilians back during WWII, and it's so nice to have an abridge version for our modern times. Everyday is a battle!! The book may see expensive, but it's worth every penny. I'd recommend it to anyone I know--Catholic or non-Catholic. Cheers, Brett ...
I found this book to be very comforting and a valuable resource. I would recommend it to any Catholic soldier their families or their friends. Yes it was written during World War II but the lessons are just as applicable today as they were then. Especially if you know a soldier who is serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who knows a Catholic soldier because it has prayers, words of encouragement and other important things yet it is compact enough to fit in a pocket so it is easy to carry.
This is the best pocket prayer/meditation prayer book available. This is not just for soldiers in the field. It is for anyone who wants short concise meditations for everyday situations/life.
One of the most spiritual prayer books I've used. Very small and fits into a pocket easily. Originally published during WWII, Cardinal Sheen assembled a unique group of prayers, and I recommend this quality prayer book to all military and military family members. It not only contains spiritual guidance, it contains some of the best psalms and traditional prayers I've ever seen in one book. It soothes a troubled soul.
We are in times that Bishop Sheen predicted~ The Rise of Islam.Former military guy, couldnt pass up a WWII era prayer book to evokesome grounded thoughts.
I orderd this little book for my cousins who are in the service. This book is a great read with a wealth of insightful information. Thoughts for soldiers, thoughts for wartime, reflections, morning prayers, evening prayers and alot more. I had our priest bless them and we presented the books to our servicemen.They were very touched. What a great little gift for a soldier to carry in his shirt pocket.
Compact in size, huge in content. Comforting, thought provoking, a worthy companion to any person in the armed forces.
