Meet John Paul II by Janel Rodriguez

As The People's Pope makes clear, the gospel truths that sustained this hero of the faith are available to you, too. The book invites you to consider the facts of this man's life-his impact on the world, his papacy that changed the face of the Catholic Church, his courage in handling crushing adversity—and to see there the hand of God. As you meet John Paul II, you will discover that although his influence was universal, his message was personal: Open wide the doors of your heart to Christ. You will find there, as he did, the strength to live confidently for God.
