Book summary
This bestselling work by Pope John Paul II reflects his concerns as leader of the Church near the dawning of a new millennium. Writing for the general public, the pontiff is both generous and morally clear, reflecting his profound awareness of human suffering, as well as his concern for the soul. His warnings about the dangers inherent in today's world, especially war, and his messages about the dignity of the common person and the need for interfaith dialogue as well as intrafaith reconciliation--all these reflect the role he defined for himself as both Church leader and world leader. Above all, he offers a message of hope to the faithful.
