LESSONS IN HOPE
MY UNEXPECTED LIFE WITH ST. JOHN PAUL II. A preeminent authority on the Catholic Church and papal biographer, author George Weigel describes in this book what he learned from chronicling the life of Pope John Paul II. As George learns the pope "from inside," he also offers a firsthand account of the tumult of post-Vatican II Catholicism and the Cold War's endgame, introducing readers to the heroes who brought down European communism. Later, he shows us the aging pope grappling with the post-9/11 world order and teaching new lessons in dignity through his own suffering. A world-changing Pope. Hardcover. 368 pages
