Synopses & Reviews
The pontificate of the first non-Italian pope since the sixteenth century has left a lasting imprint on the church. As the world has faced the tremendous theological, social, economic and political realignment of the last half of the twentieth century, John Paul II has offered clear guidance for Roman Catholics and innumerable others. The moving selections from his writings contained here speak of his central creed: the good news of Jesus and his relevance to our own life and times. "We do justice to others when we love them....Love for others precludes using them as objects." "A paradigm for living involves thanking God each day for the gift of life, for our own worth and dignity as human beings, and for the friendship which he offers us on our pilgrimage to eternity."
