It's the chronicle of a man who, born of humble roots, grew through adversity; a man who had an indelible impact on millions and changed the course of history. Yet five years after Pope John Paul II returned to the Father's house, what remains most remarkable about his life isn't its result, but the pilgrimage that formed, strengthened, and saw him called forth to be his era's leading witness to the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Beyond the autobiographical reflections contained in these pages, the testimonies of others reinforce that, in an age that craves authenticity and is perhaps not as hostile to religion itself as lacking evidence of genuine faith, the 264th Successor of Peter was the real deal. What he preached before crowds as large as 5 million, he practiced in the 'bubble' of his Vatican apartment.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword by Rocco Palmo, blogger \u003ci\u003eWhispers in the Loggia \u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction by Angelo Cardinal Comastri \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pauline Books \u0026 Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016793473264,"sku":"9780819839923","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780819839923_p0.jpg?v=1763742811","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780819839923","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
