Perhaps one of the most well written spiritual autobiographies of our time. This book is thoroughly researched, well written and delivers it's content with a style that engages the reader. The work reveals many things unknown about the multi-faceted life and works of this great pope, now called "John Paul the Great": his philosophical work (he was a first-rate philosophical thinker and writer), his deep regard for humanity and the human condition, his love and theology of the figure of Mary, and his concern for the church and the direction of Catholic thought in the twentieth century. Unlike the rather silly and amaturish attempt at biography by the jounalist Woodward, this author knows the Catholic territory very well and it shows in his knowlegable prose, which in comparison, the Woodward book reads like a comic book. Highly recommended and very readable.
