This collection of texts by Benedict XVI, composed both before and after his election to the pontificate, is a testimony to his close relationship with John Paul II, born of over a quarter of a century of close collaboration by two of the most important religious figures of the new millennium. Benedict explores John Paul IIÆs life: his vocation and how it matured, his passion for philosophy and theology, his academic studies and influences, and his pontificate. Read the book youÆve been hearing about and gain unique insight into the minds of our two most recent popes!
