It began as a name for our son... …and it became the miracle of a lifetime. Fulton Sheen impacted our lives in a way we can’t help but share. Travis and I were still discussing baby names when I was seven months pregnant. One day I sat in front of the computer, watching YouTube videos as I continued my research. Fulton Sheen had once appeared on What’s My Line, an old game show, and I called Travis over to watch with me. We were impressed with his humor and the way that everyone clearly liked him. The people on the show obviously respected Bishop Sheen and enjoyed being in his presence. We were shocked; never had we seen a Catholic figure so well received in a secular setting. Obviously, there was much more to the man than we thought. "You mean sixty-one seconds. You said sixty-one minutes, but you mean a little over one minute." "No," I said. "He didn't have a pulse for over an hour." “A beautifully told story that will inspire every family to deeper faith.” — Jennifer Fulwiler, radio host and author of One Beautiful Dream: The Rollicking Tale of Family Chaos, Personal Passions, and Saying Yes to Them Both “Bonnie Engstrom’s account in this book is more than just a shocking miracle story. It’s also, as are the best miracle stories, an uplifting and encouraging testament to the ways God and his saints continue to work in this world. If you have friends or family who don’t believe in God, or doubt there are forces in this world beyond the merely material, this book may change their mind.” — Brandon Vogt, founder of ClaritasU and author of Why I Am Catholic “It’s easy (and maybe comfortable) to confine the earth-shattering, world-changing-type miracles to back in ye old Bible days. But James Fulton Engstrom’s life is a testament to the fact that BIG important miracles can happen in our time, in regular homes, to normal families. His mom’s lovely little book gives us all a fascinating window into one family’s experience living through — and with — a Church-approved, doctor-verified medical miracle!” — Kendra Tierney, mother of many, blogger, author of The Catholic All Year Compendium “Do you believe in miracles? You will after reading this book. This is truly a miraculous story. What happened with their stillborn son, James Fulton, with the intercession of Fulton Sheen, is quite literally amazing, extraordinary — miraculous. Read this book. It’s an inspiring story that will bring you tears of joy and strengthen your faith. It’s a story you will love.” — Paul Kengor, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science, Grove City College, author of A Pope and a President Think Right, Live Well: Daily Reflections with Archbishop Fulton J.
