Publisher's summary

Treasure in Clay provides a lifetime's worth of wisdom from one of the most beloved and influential religious figures of the 20th century. Billy Graham called Bishop Sheen the "Great Communicator" since Sheen pioneered religious programming on both radio and TV with his signature program Life is Worth Living. In 1952 Sheen received an Emmy Award for Most Outstanding Television Personality.

This autobiography includes childhood and seminary reflections, as well as Sheen's views on media stardom, pastoral work, international travels, conversions, Vatican II, Mary, and more. Listeners can expect to hear many of this saintly and sage communicator's famous phrases and inspiring stories. Treasure in Clay illuminates why Bishop Sheen is now called "Servant of God", a step towards possible canonization in the Catholic Church.

Must-Read for Modern Communicators

The details in this autobiography help explain why Billy Graham called Fulton Sheen the "greatest communicator of the twentieth century."

Modern communicators should be interested in his explanation of the approach and strategy behind the messages in his television shows (primarily in sixth chapter, but also in the fifth).

Treasure in Clay

I was inspired to to read this book after hearing it cited I several homilies. Seeing it available as an audiobook I have listened to 4 additional times .. Chapters 20 and 21 are must study areas as redemptive suffering is brought to the shallow end of theological instruction; something we often hear of, but seldom hear a relatable explanation of ..

Fantastic!

This is the best autobiography I've ever heard. Truly inspiring. His chapter on celibacy is the best, clearest, most concise explanation on the subject I've ever heard. This book helps me in my Faith life in so many ways.
