The Life and Legacy of Pope John Paul II Kindle Edition

by Wyatt North (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 606 ratings
On July 5, Pope Francis approved John Paul for sainthood, saying that Pope John XXIII and John Paul II will be canonized together. The date has not yet been established, although December 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception has been suggested. Irrespective of the details, John Paul’s canonization appears imminent.

From Poland, John Paul’s longtime private secretary, Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, rejoiced at the news. “I thank God that I will live to see the elevation to sainthood the person who I served with love to the last beating of his heart,” he stated. Abraham Foxman, as director of the Jewish organization the Anti-Defamation League, received four audiences with Pope John Paul. He spoke for John Paul’s numerous supporters when he said, “For many of us Pope John Paul is already a saint, this just formalizes it.”

John Paul’s pontificate lasted nearly twenty-seven years, one of the longest in papal history. During that time he had an unprecedented amount of contact with the public, including Catholics, non-Catholics, and foreign leaders. He made 104 pastoral visits outside Italy, and 146 within. The Vatican estimates that more than 17.6 million pilgrims participated in his regular Wednesday general audiences alone. He made 38 official visits and met with government leaders on 984 different occasions.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mr. North is not afraid to show the good and bad of Pope John Paul II
    Reviewed in the United States on 22 August 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I have read many bio's about Pope John Paul II, and this is one of the few that have taken the initiative to show not only the good parts of his legendary Papacy, but the story behind what may not be considered the best times of his Papacy. Mr. North tells us of these times with the utmost respect that is due our Blessed John Paul. Every aspect of his life was brilliantly captured, chronologically strong, wonderfully written. John Paul had such a well-rounded life, and this book shows it. School and the Seminary were not the only places he received his education. This book shows how he shared and used his knowledge for the betterment of all humanity.

    This is not the first nor will it be the last of the biographies I have read by this same author. Many shorter biographies can read like a 10th grade textbook or a Wikipedia article. You will not find that with Mr. North's books. I always look forward to reading his books because I know they will be full of solid information, put together to be easily consumed but without the "fluff" that is sometimes put in just to lengthen the book.

    Keep it up Mr. North, great work as usual.

    3.0 out of 5 stars a bit one-sided and glorifying
    Reviewed in Germany on 30 October 2015
    Verified Purchase
    A not-uninteresting, slightly glorified summary of this Pope's main life events and deeds by an author who obviously loves and admires him.
    Certainly not a bad book, but what I missed was a bit more - neutrality, shall we say, and a bit more depth, not just a string of dates and events? That said, I quite liked it and it certainly will give someone who has not delved into this topic a bit of an introduction.
