Book description
Providing inspiration from the man whose advice and insights have
touched the hearts of millions, this collection of quotations, poems,
and prayers reveals Pope John Paul II in his many roles: as teacher,
pastor, poet, leader, lover of all humanity, and follower of Christ. In
this book, the pope addresses everything from the search for truth to
the wonder of love, from the holiness of the family to the
responsibilities of the priesthood, and from the miracle of life to the
mystery of the Incarnation. His words reveal the compassion, joy, and
wisdom born of his more than fifty years as a servant of God. Compiled
from his pastoral letters, encyclicals, daily audiences, books, poems,
favorite prayers, and homilies--including his addresses from his recent
history-making visit to Cuba--the passages in this collection reveal
Pope John Paul II's undying faith and concern for the human spirit. They
demonstrate why his message of faith transcends religious and political
divides, and illustrate why he is one of history's most beloved
religious leaders. Anthony F. Chiffolo is the author or editor of many
Christian books and cookery titles. Anthony is also a published nature
photographer.
