This is a wonderfully concise,
spiritual guide.
I gave one to my son in Iraq,
and keep one close at hand
for my own daily battles.
It reminds me that
God will help in times where
our physical and emotional
strength is exhausted,
but our battle for human dignity
is 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.

Compact in size, huge in content. Comforting, thought provoking, a worthy companion to any person in the armed forces.

We are in times that Bishop Sheen predicted~ The Rise of Islam.
Former military guy, couldnt pass up a WWII era prayer book to evoke
some 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.

This little book is much more than a prayer book. It encompasses theology, phylosophy and common sense. It is of course an inspirational prayer book. It is written by a master humorist and spiritual man who will probably soon be sainted.
