Sheen reached millions through his pioneering radio and television programs, such as Life Is Worth Living, captivating audiences with his trademark clarity, wit, and conviction.

This commemorative volume, released in honor of his beatification, is an encounter with a shepherd for our time. While he was a celebrated public figure, the true source of his power was a hidden life of prayer centered on his faithful daily Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament.
