A comprehensive and thought-provoking biography that gives an exclusive inside look at the life of Pope John Paul II.
Pope John Paul II was one of the most significant world figures in the 20th century and one of the most famous popes in the history of the Catholic church. His unprecedented willingness to travel the world and his media savvy allowed him to reach over 1 billion Catholic parishioners in over 100 countries during his long tenure as pope. He drew huge crowds of devoted followers wherever he went, and no doubt many of them will seek to remember him long after his reign has ended. The Poynter Institute has put together a full-color collection of front page newspaper stories from the day of Pope John Paul II's death in order to chronicle the historic event. The book includes approximately 150 reproductions of front pages from newspapers in all 50 U.S. states as well as major newspapers from around the world. The covers are presented without commentary, in order to allow the reader to appreciate the event in his or her own way.

This informal biography by Pope John Paul's lifelong friend is best described as a warm and personal reminiscence. The author recalls the trials that Karol had to face from the time of his youth, the influence of the war years on his personality development, his studies and teaching--all the way to his election to the Papacy. Written with sensitivity and candor, it is the portrit of a man of extraordinary courage and faith, a man whose personal and national experience, however testing, nurtured his humanity. The author, a fellow priest and a fellow Pole, shares numerous anecdotes spanning some forty years' friendship with Wojtyla: experiences from thier days of youth as well as the more recent experiences in Wojtyla's leadership in a struggling Church.
