Publisher's Notes
In The Hidden Pope, author Darcy O'Brien offers the account of the extraordinary relationship of Karol Wojtyla and Jerzy Kluger - their boyhood in the small Polish town of Wadowice, their separation at the beginning of World War II, their individual experiences under Nazi and Soviet tyranny, and their reunion almost thirty years later that deepened their friendship and made a profound impact on the history of our time. Set in the perspective of monumental reconciliation between Christianity and Judaism, this is a portrait of John Paul II that describes him as only his closest friends know him and as no pope has ever been portrayed before. Readers will come to know the Holy Father as a man and to understand his most controversial ideas as expressions of his dramatic experience of life.

Witness to Hope
by George Weigel
Weigel explores never-before-known information about the Pope's role in some of the century's most momentous events, including the fall of communism, the Vatican/Israel negotiation of 1991-1992, the collapse of the Philippine, Chilean, Nicaraguan, and Paraguayan dictatorships during the 1980s, and the historic papal visit to Cuba. Weigel also includes previously unpublished papal correspondence with Leonid Brezhnev, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Deng Xiaoping, and draws on hitherto unavailable autobiographical reminiscences by the Pope.
Memoirs of Childhood
by Nima H. Adlerblum
Memoirs of Childhood: An Approach to Jewish Philosophy consists of recollections of the author's childhood in Jerusalem. Peripherally, Adlerblum provides her later adventures in Constantinople and Hoboken, as well as the story of her grandmother's experiences in Lithuania, leading up to her aliya to Safed and Jerusalem. The stories and facts portrayed recount many pivotal events of the era. The text also contains background information relating to comparative theology and philosophy of religion. Educational psychology as well as historical material on the development of Jewish education is also embedded in the narrative. The reactions of traditional Jewry to modern challenges are amply dealt with; Jewish educators will be able to adapt sections of the work directly for lessons and assigned readings. This tale is a religious and spiritual odyssey of a young girl who delves into the rich traditions of her own people and exerts influence upon the modern world.
Irving Howe
by Edward Alexander
From the 1940s to the 1990s, Irving Howe was a dominant, if controversial, figure in American intellectual life. Author of the prize-winning WORLD OF OUR FATHERS, Howe was founder and editor of the democratic socialist magazine DISSENT. Through a clear, eloquent, and forcefully argued study of Howe's politics, writings, and thought, Edward Alexander constructs a sympathetic, yet critical intellectual biography of this complex individual.
The Jew Store
by Stella Suberman

The Hidden Pope: The Untold Story of a Lifelong Friendship That Is Changing the Relationship Between Catholics and Jews: The Personal Journey of John Paul II and Jerzy Kluger
FREE SHIPPING
OBrien, Darcy
Rodale Books, 1998. Hardcover. Like New. John Paul II has made greater strides toward understanding and atoning for Rome's complicity in anti-Semitism than any other pope in history. The Hidden Pope shows how and why this rapprochement is taking place by telling the story of John Paul's lifelong friendship with Jerzy Kluger, a Polish Jew. The text is a fascinating and detailed depiction of John Paul's personal life, but the book's real significance lies in its frank demonstration of the way Karol Wojtyla brings his personal experience to bear on the eternal truths of Catholic theology.--- Toronto Store Pick-up Available.
