John XXIII
Angelo Roncalli was elected Pope in 1958 and in four and a half years, through summoning the Second Vatican Council and putting in hand a major revision of the code of Canon Law, had transformed the Roman Catholic Church. Through his personality and teaching, and his initiatives with world leaders, he gave the papacy a new vision and set before the Catholic Church a new version of its mission to the world. Today many people throughout the world see Pope John XXIII as one of the twentieth-century's most loved and influential figures.

John XXIII
Catholics of the third millennium owe much to John XXIII. He and the council that he convoked gave us a new direction. During and after his pontificate, the Church's relationship with the world, with Christians and with non-Christians changed dramatically, as did our understanding of liturgy and the importance of Scripture--the "cup and the book," which Bishop Roncalli like to emphasize in his sermons of earlier years.

People of God is a brand new 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 have 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. The canonization of Pope John XXIII and the fiftieth anniversary of Vatican II call for a fresh look at this remarkable man. Now highly regarded Vatican II historian Massimo Faggioli offers a rich and insightful portrait. His sources include the complete edition of the private diaries of the future John XXIII, published recently in ten volumes, much of which is unavailable in English. Faggioli’s use of this treasure of personal notes of the future pope means this biography offers a more complete and nuanced understanding of Angelo Roncalli than is available anywhere else in English at this time. The result is both unforgettable and inspiring.
Pope John XXIII
"Nebraska Bull" McGlone was a heavy-muscled giant of a man who, with his bloodthirsty clan, cut a swath of violence and death across the Kansas plains. In the town of Ellsworth, some people dared to resist him. The result was a savage spree of killing. Now, the blood lust was up in McGlone, and nothing could stop him. Not even, it seemed, the Rio Kid, who was now approaching Ellworth.
