Summary

Written by Msgr. Fulton Sheen, this pocket-sized prayer book for soldiers and civilians was first proven in combat in World War II, and hallowed by the suffering and prayers of countless Catholic fighting men and women on ships and aircraft, in fortresses and foxholes, and in prisoner-of-war camps across Europe and the Pacific. Today, our pocket-sized edition brings the comfort of this treasured prayer book to new generations of our valiant armed forces, thousands of whom have already turned to it in the heat and dust of battle in Iraq. Buy one for yourself and another to send to that soldier you know!
