Fulton Sheen's Wartime Prayer Book

This is the second one of Fulton Sheen's Wartime Prayer Book that we've ordered. Be ready for its size. It really is meant for your pocket, but the type inside isn't small. This is a classic little prayer book that should be more widely known about! Get one and keep it in your pocket or purse!

Whether we know it or not, we are enveloped in a War of the most significant proportions.This is not a war of political ideologies, nor is it a war over "real estate". This is the Ultimate Battle between Good and Evil.V. Archbishop Fulton Sheen originally intended this book for the members of our Armed Forces. But every thought, every word in this book is applicable to all of us - Enlisted or not ... because actually, we are all enlisted in this supernatural War.The book does, as promised, contained prayers. But wonderfully, this book is packed full a Spiritual Encouragements for every Christian today.I am posting my review on the Kindle edition. I'm getting (actually gotten) older, and my eyes aren't as good as they used to be, even with glasses.So I first purchased the physical book, thinking it would be good to carry it with me when out-&-about. But the prince is just too small for these tired old eyes.Yet the Kindle edition's font is very comfortable to read, and can even be maximized or minimized at will!One of our recent Holy Fathers - now Saint John Paul II - consistently encouraged us by saying, "Be Not Afraid". This one little book is all we need as we walk through the dangerous shadows of this Culture of Death, as it seeks to ruin are Eternal Souls.

A historic book of faith compiled by a man of faith for people who will hopefully never find themselves atheist in a foxhole. This is the pocket prayerbook for the military members in our time.

This isn't a book of prayers in the traditional sense. In reality it is just the opposite and that's what makes it so much more useful. The pages of this book are filled with short reading which are designed to help you think about your relationship with the Lord and thoughts to discuss with Him. In doing so it helps you deal with the current situation during your short (in the eyes of God), trouble-filled time on Earth. Life in general is tough and war really is hell. The horrors that it brings can cause many to turn away from the Creator, wrongly blaming Him for allowing the horrors to happen. But the writings of this book help guide you to better understand (as much as humanly possible) why such things as war/tribulations are here on Earth. Maybes think of it as Job's diary, left here to help you through the absolute toughest of times, whether you are a soldier or just feeling embattled...which is pretty much everyone, isn't it?

Good explanations help with meditationGood for those beginning a pray life.

I bought our first copy of Fulton Sheen's Wartime Prayer Book for my son when he left for USAF Basic Military Training- in 2011. Since then, he regularly sends me requests for additional copies to give to his friends. He just asked me for more, so I went back and looked back at what that brings us to, I buy at least 10 copies a year from various places. The book is sized to fit in fatigue pockets and - while designed for Catholics- is appropriate for any Christian. It contains prayers and passages for various situations our servicemembers face- words when you have no words.I think the fact that an active-duty Airman has felt this book important enough that he has given over 70 copies away to his friends warrants the 5-star rating!

Great little book. But not wrapped or protected. Cardboard box got rained on and very soggy. Very fortunately not damaged but a very close call

This is the same book that WWII Catholic Soldiers, Sailors and Marines carried with them in Europe and the Pacific. Just as important today as it was for our Grandfathers who fought the Second World War! Written by a real Saint!!!

Deep, traditionell und trotzdem modern, zeitgemäß und historische wertvoll ... es ist klein und stabil und trotzdem umfassend kann immer mitgenommen werden ...gutes Geschenk für Soldaten und Pilgrims, gut auf Reisen...

I take this with me everywhere it is so clarifying and grounds me

Corrisponde alle mie aspettative

Good book for everyone.

When I bought this I thought it would be just a collection of prayers, but it's not - it's so much better than I even expected. There ARE prayers in it (wonderful ones), but its written like an actual book. Fulton Sheen explains so many things about the catholic faith in a very enlightening way and truly gives hope for times of war, be they physical war or spiritual war. I truly recommend that anyone and everyone buy this. It's pocket-sized and easy to take with you anywhere.
