Overview:
Karol Wojtyla's extraordinary life was influenced by the events of the twentieth century, and, as Pope John Paul II, he influenced events in turn. Born in southern Poland, Karol entered a seminary under Nazi occupation, served as a cleric under Communist domination, and rose in the Church to the rank of Cardinal. In 1978, he emerged as John Paul II, the first non-Italian pope in more than four centuries. John Paul II has traveled more miles than all previous popes combined and has brought the worldwide population of Roman Catholics to a billion strong. This is a beautiful tribute to arguably the most important pope of the millennium and a legend in his own time. 128 pages.
