Martin Sheen, best known for his role as a Catholic president in
the prestigious television series The West Wing, returned to the
practice of his Catholic faith at the age of forty after decades
away. After years of battling alcohol addiction, a near-fatal heart
attack, and a nervous breakdown, the stage, film, and television
actor renewed his dedication to his family and activated his faith
with energy, grace, and joy. Through the sacraments, Mass, the
rosary, the support of family, and numerous friends and peace and
justice activists such as Daniel Berrigan, SJ, and the Catholic
Worker Movement, Martin Sheen today sees himself as a man in the
pew. He has been arrested more than sixty times for non-violent
civil disobedience, speaking out for human rights. Sister Rose
Pacatte's unique biography moves beyond tabloid news to include
information and inspiring stories gleaned from interviews with
Martin Sheen, his sister and brothers, as well as long-time
friends. People of God is a series of inspiring biographies for the
general reader. Each volume offers a compelling and honest
narrative of the life of an important twentieth or twenty-first
century Catholic. Some living and some now deceased, each of these
women and men has known challenges and weaknesses familiar to most
of us but responded to them in ways that call us to our own forms
of heroism. Each offers a credible and concrete witness of faith,
hope, and love to people of our own day.
